Through partnerships with the\u00a0Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC)<\/a><\/strong> and The International Collective of Independent Music Publishers (IMPEL)<\/strong><\/a>, we’re simplifying the process for you to receive royalties from around the world.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_color=\u00a0\u00bbaccent\u00a0\u00bb heading_semantic=\u00a0\u00bbh3″ text_font=\u00a0\u00bbfont-136269″ text_size=\u00a0\u00bbh3″ uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb104729″ text_color_type=\u00a0\u00bbuncode-palette\u00a0\u00bb]The MLC: Streamlining US Mechanical Royalties[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb854141″]Mandated by the US Congress via the Music Modernization Act, the\u00a0Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC)<\/strong> launched on January 1, 2021. The MLC collects mechanical royalties for streaming and downloads from digital service providers (DSPs) in the United States.<\/p>\n

As a CMO member of the MLC, CMRRA ensures that publishers signed up for MLC collection have their repertoire properly registered. This means that your US digital mechanical royalties, past and future, flow smoothly and efficiently, with the same level of service that we provide for Canadian royalties.<\/p>\n

If you’re already a direct member of the MLC, you do not need to sign up for CMRRA’s International Collections service for the USA. However, if you want CMRRA to handle these royalties, you can opt out of your direct membership and switch to our service.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_color=\u00a0\u00bbaccent\u00a0\u00bb heading_semantic=\u00a0\u00bbh3″ text_font=\u00a0\u00bbfont-136269″ text_size=\u00a0\u00bbh3″ uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb341960″ text_color_type=\u00a0\u00bbuncode-palette\u00a0\u00bb]IMPEL: Broadening Horizons Beyond North America[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb428120″]Our partnership with IMPEL allows us to collect digital royalties from territories outside of North America, focusing initially on their Core Territories, including the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland, and extending to regions like Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Future phases will expand coverage to Latin America and India.<\/p>\n

IMPEL\u2019s transparent collective administration aligns perfectly with CMRRA\u2019s mission to provide accurate and detailed royalty collection and distribution for rights holders.<\/p>\n
