I signed up with IMRO via BeatStars publishing. If I register beats on BeatStars publishing, what is the cut of IMRO and BeatStars publishing?

Here is the breakdown of your writer’s share and publisher’s share based on the terms of BeatStars Publishing:

Writer’s Share

• Mechanical Royalties: 80%
• Writer’s Performance Royalties: 100%
• Publisher’s Performance Royalties: 60%
• Sync Licensing:
  • Standard Syncs: 80%
  • Syncs sourced by BeatStars/Sony Music Publishing: 65%

Publisher’s Share (Collected by BeatStars/Sony Music Publishing)

• Mechanical Royalties: 20%
• Publisher’s Performance Royalties: 40%
• Sync Licensing:
  • Standard Syncs: 20%
  • Syncs sourced by BeatStars/Sony Music Publishing: 35%

Key Notes

1. Your PRO (e.g., IMRO) collects the writer’s share of performance royalties (100%) directly and transfers them to you.
2. BeatStars Publishing collects the publisher’s share of all royalties as per the splits above.
3. You retain 100% ownership of your compositions, and these splits only apply to royalty distribution, not ownership.

This structure ensures you receive both your writer’s and publisher’s shares, with BeatStars administering the publisher’s side.
