Creating Your own Publishing....

[peeyo]

Much appreciated. I didn't think it was necessary.........but I read something on a listing that said "You must control the masters and publishing for the song" or something to that effect. Not sure if I've missed this before, so it made me a little paranoid.
Thanks,

FWIW, I have been getting film/tv placements for over 10 years now and am making a very nice living at it, and I just registered my first publishing company ever a few weeks ago. I never needed it before...

So don't think you need to be a registered publisher to be taken seriously or to get placements in film/tv. Remember it's the publisher who gets you the placements...if that publisher is you, then you'll be the one responsible for getting the placements...

Hey Matto, What made you do it after all these years?

A new opportunity which requires me to be a publisher...

Cool!

You automatically control the publishing until/unless you assign it, in writing, to somebody else. However you may not control the masters, if outside musicians played on them and you didn't obtain a release from those outside musicians.

Good to know.
