I would not count on that. Best to check with any libraries you are working with.
Just received notice that our neighboring rights royalty (international), for this quarter, is a tad over $1500. Best one to date.
Don’t let that money slip through your fingers! Check out our Music Royalty Cheat Sheet (and this thread) on how to participate.
The problem for you is that while classical music is in the public domain. There is generally a copyright on the audio recording. You don’t think the creators of the recording should be paid for their work? Do you get paid when you work? I bet you do.
Thanks Afilion!
“Most of them are short between 10-15sec and promote an upcoming show within a few days to same day.”
Are you searching Numerator for the name of the show being promoted? BTW this is great info and is under the heading of “I learn something new every day!”
“I’m seeing ad codes for nearly all my promos and my co-writers promos on Numerator, even on smaller channels Art.”
Are these ads that promote other shows within the same network?
Thanks Afilion, good to know, I will check it out.
Ads are usually placed 3 quarters later IIRC. Don’t ever recall getting promo on anything but CBS, NBC or ABC. Had lots of promos on the smaller networks but don’t recall any payments from them. YMMV.
Don’t know about SESAC but my experience with BMI is that promos are only paid by the major networks. All networks are supposed to report them but do not. BTW, AFAIK, Numerator only reports commercials, not promos.
I had read that article also. So many ways to rip of artists and no end to the scams. Sigh…

Good point Mark, I missed that. Very unfair deal.
Are the deals with those two companies exclusive? IF so, you could but you could not place the same music/artists with both companies. If non-exclusive you could.
Songpluggers, do they still exist? Back in the day I worked with a songplugger in L.A. and Nashville. My impression was that they were more interested in the income they could generate from their songwriter clients. Not to say it’s a bad idea but I would be careful and go into it with your eyes wide open.
