Earning Royalties for your music online

[Kamikaze Revy]

That's interesting. Any idea what kinda numbers he was doing in views, sales, etc. to generate the, numbers?

I believe it was a little over 100K views on 3 separate videos. I spoke with him more about this and he showed me that he gets money from spotify as well. When someone listens to his tracks he gets a cut from the advertising they do. My attitude is, even its $20 that's $20 I didn't have before and even more its $20 that belongs to me that's being kept by these companies all because I'm not doing my job to collect from my work.

so even if its just beats?....lets say you create a beat and somebody jacks it. but you got your shyt copywritten and registered under BMI. what type of money would you be lookin at off a lawsuit?



and what about if the beat they stole is sampled?....are you pretty much fukked?

Im in no way an expert. I would imagine if the beat contains copy written samples that haven't been cleared there isn't a single thing you could do about someone making a track with your beat. I'm sure that the owner of the sample could shut down the song, but unless there's proof of financial gain, even they couldn't do much about it legally.
If you are making original beats and uploading then online then yes, you can definitely collect royalties for advertising. I'm telling you, if you are serious about your music, beats or entire songs, DO NOT upload them without being registered properly.
