Not a bad cd - an interesting collection of songs

Does Damien get royalties for these or Adam Reily?

There are at least two (2) copyrights in any recording:

(i) The copyright in the song being the composition and/or the lyrics (i.e. the “musical work” in copyright language). APRA grants licences for the broadcast and public performance of musical work and distributes to songwriters and their publishers.

(ii) The copyright in the recorded version of the musical work. PPCA grants licences for the broadcast communication and public performance of recordings and distributes licence fee income to record labels and directly registered Australian recording artists.

Each inclusion of NOML in a compilation earns Damien a royalty for the reuse of the recorded versionof the musical work, and that would go into his recoupable account with Sony.

At the end of each financial year, the process of calculating the amount available to be distributed on a track by track basis to Australian recording artists (after the deduction of administration costs) is undertaken.

Where an artist has registered under the Artist Direct Distribution Scheme, 48.75% of funds available for distribution in relation to a particular track go to the record label, 48.75% goes to the registered Australian artist and 2.5% goes to the PPCA Performers’ Trust Foundation which administers grants for the encouragement of the performing arts.

For all other recordings, the funds payable in respect of the relevant track are sent to the controlling record label for distribution to artists in accordance with their individual record company agreements.

I love a comprehensive reply

[thebraff (Braffy)]

Thank you DD for the explanation. I always thought it was the songwriters who got it all. So as soon as Damien can get an original trck of his onto one of these records then he will get double dose. Not a bad thing to aim for. ;D

You can tell can't you, that there is a new Damien Leith single due for release very soon? NOML is now being included on various compilation CD's and that in itself is great! It's a good move by Sony and in the interim Damien is still earning royalties as is Adam Reily and probably for years to come.

This is also the great thing with The Winner's Journey CD where Damien wrote and also performed two of the songs. He receives royalties as the performer and also as the songwriter. It's a win, win situation for him.

I think this is why I was a little surprised that the new single is not one of Damien's own compositions but nevertheless he knows what he's doing and I can't wait to hear the full version of 22 Steps. Another reason for wanting the single to be a Damien original is to basically stick it up Mark Holden et al. Spiteful of me I know but we had to watch the AI judges dish out a lot of crap to Damien during the course of the show and he came through it all as the consummate professional with his amazing voice shining though and also revealing what a genuinely nice guy he is. The icing on the cake would have been for one of his own compositions to go to number one as I'm sure 22 Step will do.

Thanks Dede for the information, it's appreciated as always.

Thanks Dede. Once again you have researched the matter and come up trumps. What would we do without you?
