Miscellaneous Fees
There are multiple fees that may arise in distribution. Payment processing fees can vary per location. UPC and ISRC codes are given without a fee. Publishing Deals include a signup fee; our fee to administer and collect royalties on your publishing is 20%. DSPs (music streaming platforms) sometimes impose a penalty fee and/or withhold earnings if they determine you have obtained digital streams through fraudulent methods. DSPs may charge fees for increased viewership, mechanical transactions, voided transactions, and more. We do not impose these fees on clients but are compliant with DSP partners if fraudulent streams and copyright takedowns are charged against a client’s account.
