A royalty is payment to the playwright or composer for use of his work. A royalty is due anytime you perform any of our copyrighted plays or musicals, even if there is no charge for admission. It is considered a performance if individual parts are assigned or memorized or if anyone is watching the actors, including students, classes, assemblies or competitions. A dress rehearsal being viewed is also considered a performance.

Charges for royalty free images are usually based on the size of the photo you need rather than specifically what you want it for. You do not have to pay any additional fees based on the intended use. The quality of such pictures is usually limited in comparison to rights managed image material.

It's generally 50/50% on artist-produced works, 10% to artists on things we produce from copy masters. We try to send money to everybody as often as we can (some people do quite well). You bet. There are a couple of angels to whom we are really grateful. We could use more, the financial situation is always dire. On the other hand, it's been more or less equally dire for 20 years, so at least it's not worse! No offers refused.

Put very simply, "royalty free music" is a term used to describe music that you can use as much as you want, after having paid one single license fee. Traditionally, before "royalty-free" music came on the scene, a film- or media producer either had to "hire" music library per-month or per-year, and/or pay a fee for every minute, second, or every cue that the music was used in a production.

All of the royalty free music represented by Sound Ideas (The Mix Libraries, The Mix Signature Collection, etc.) are copyrighted products, owned or licensed for distribution by Sound Ideas. These products and other leased music products can both be called "Stock Music" - which is defined as a variety of pre-recorded music, generally available at a much lower cost than original music or licensed commercial recordings of popular songs.

Royalties are paid quarterly on February 15, May 15, August 15 & November 15 each year. The payment dates are 45 days after the end of the calendar quarter for which the payment covers.
