The composer and publisher of a piece of music generally reserve the right to receive compensation any time their music is performed in public, hence the term Performing Rights. Around the world, performance rights societies (like ASCAP and BMI in the United States or SOCAN in Canada), collect public performance revenue from radio and TV stations and networks, movie theatres and other sources.

If you make use of Sound Ideas' music in your broadcast or public performance productions, you must file a Cue Sheet with your local Performing Rights society and with Sound Ideas, so that the composer(s) and publisher(s) of the music will receive appropriate performing rights revenue. A blank Cue Sheet is available for your convenience. Simply print the pdf file, complete the form and fax it to us at (905) 886-6800.

Performing Rights organizations such as BMI, ASCAP, SESAC in the USA and SOCAN in Canada, exist to track and collect royalties for the use of music on radio, TV, film and even live performances. Technically, radio/TV can refuse to play music that does not list performing rights affiliation, since part of their licensing agreement with the FCC in the USA or the CRTC in Canada requires that they pay these collectives for the use of all music that they broadcast.

We don't require publisher performance rights, but we love it when people give us some or all of them for any piece or pieces. There are a couple of artists (we refer to them as bodhissatvas) who contribute the BMI/ASCAP publishing rights for some or all of their pieces (or some % of some pieces). Those artists are crucial to our survival, because this is, of course, how regular, non-independent non-experimental publishing houses make their living (not by selling scores).

If you are working in feature film or tv and you file cue sheets for performing rights royalties for the music that you have used in your production, please include the composer and publisher information contain in the description of the sounds on the web site.

If you are part of a performing group, and want to put on your own staging of Pimpernel, the rights are available from Tams-Witmark. Full details on this have been provided on the Show Rights page.

ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are performing rights organizations in the United States. Their main function is to collect performing rights royalties from those who commercially use the music of their member writers and publishers. They distribute royalties to their members after administration costs are deducted.

These vary depending on the actual use as well as other factors. Contact the various performing rights societies to get information on the costs involved.
