undtracks, and create additional income streams through foreign rights, too. ” – http://www.songmd.com/col_publishingyoursongs.shtml
2. “ Suffice it to say that if you want all the money due from a public performance of your song, from, for example, radio play, the song must be published by a music publisher and registered with a performing rights organization.”

3.”Publishing rights are the rights to a song. If you write a song by yourself, you own the publishing (and copyright) from the moment you finish the song. You don’t have to set up shop as a music publisher to own those rights – they automatically come with authorship.”

4. “If you’re a songwriter, or lyric writer, your first goal should be to get with a music publisher who likes what you do.”-
