WHY STEAM?

• We are here when you need us and we take care of you personally, walk you through the entire onboarding process and help solving any appearing problem during our partnership
• STEAM MUSIC is direct member of 11 collecting societies and we cover North America, The Nordics and Germany, Austria and Switzerland (incl. Lichtenstein) directly through our local offices in Los Angeles, Stockholm and Berlin
• Most publishers partner with sub-publishers abroad. In such cases, we lower our commission to provide rates that are nearly equivalent to the original source rates
• We frequently review collection societies to identify and address duplicate entries and conflicting registrations, ensuring any inconsistencies are resolved

STEAM MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!

• Become part of a global songwriter network and write/compose to multiple leads from Asia or Europe every week
• Our own sync team pitches your music to fitting projects worldwide
• Competitors ask up to 50% commission on the sync fee, STEAM MUSIC's Publishing Administration Sync commission is only 30%
• Benefit from STEAM being a respected member at organizations such as AIMP, DMV, California Copyright Conference, Music Publisher Canada, IMPF or the European Guild of Music Supervisors

OUR TERMS

• Worldwide publishing administration
• 70/30 split, in your favor on all income (Mechanical, Performance & Sync)
• Three year exclusive deal / Auto-renewal of agreement on a yearly basis
• Schedule deals on a song-by song basis (non-catalog)
• Social media platform collections including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & Facebook

Our Publishing Administration agreement term is three years, due to the length of time involved in worldwide collections. We often won't see revenue from certain territories until 12-18 months at a minimum, so we use that time to audit all of your registrations - fixing writer split errors, merging duplicates etc. - to ensure we're collecting everything that's owned to you.
