COMBO’S Next Monthly Zoom Event: is TONIGHT, Monday, October 23rd at 7:00 p.m. The event will feature guest speaker Dae Bogan of the Mechanical Licensing Collective. Titled “Songwriters, Are You Getting All Your Streaming Money?”, the talk will help if you are an independent songwriter and your music is streaming on any of the streaming sites and it’s time to join the MLC and get paid for those plays!
There are several MEMBER TOOLS within The MLC Portal to help you manage your song data so you can collect your royalties.
What is The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC):
The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) is a nonprofit organization designated by the U.S. Copyright Office pursuant to the historic Music Modernization Act of 2018. In January 2021, The MLC began administering blanket mechanical licenses to eligible streaming and download services (digital service providers or DSPs) in the United States. The MLC collects the royalties due under those licenses from the DSPs and pay songwriters, composers, lyricists, and music publishers.
The MLC has built a publicly accessible musical works database, as well as The MLC Portal that creators and music publishers can use to submit and maintain their musical works data. These tools will help ensure that creators and music publishers are paid properly.
More about Dae Bogan: Mr. Bogan serves as Head of Third-Party Partnerships for The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC), where he leads The MLC’s strategy for engaging third-party entities to support initiatives in rights administration, data management, operations, and membership services.
A passionate music creators’ rights advocate who enjoys exploring the global music rights landscape through the lens of business and technology, Bogan is also an adjunct lecturer at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. In this role, Bogan develops and teaches the music industry entrepreneurship course for which he was recognized in Billboard’s “The 15 Best Music Business Schools In 2017.”
