Why is it important to credit the author and composer’s full name in my releases?
In order to optimize your catalog’s monetization in the Digital Music Services, it is important to correctly credit your release’s author and composer. In addition to improving your release’s referencing in the DMS, it allows for the Collecting Societies to identify the authors and composers correctly, making the distribution of their rights easier.
Please note that mentions such as Rights Reserved or Public Domain (as well as R.R, P.D., etc) will no longer be accepted by our platform, blocking the delivery of your release. Group names or nicknames are also no longer accepted in these fields.
To avoid delays in your deliveries, please make sure to correctly credit the author and composer’s full name in your releases.

If your release doesn’t comply with this guideline, please note that it will be sent back to your Backstage for correction.
