Around 30% of neighbouring rights income goes uncollected without active management. We find it, register it, enforce it — and then check whether the statements add up.
Services
Uncollected and misdirected phonogram and producer shares at GVL, PPL, SENA, SIMIM, SoundExchange and the remaining societies. Registration, disputes, claims — retroactive within each society's claiming deadlines, success-based.
We obtain the complete statement history, cross-reference reported figures against independent consumption data, and challenge confirmed discrepancies in writing. Largest single audit recovery to date: €4.5M.
Audit-proof statements for streaming, download, physical, neighbouring rights and sync — per track, per platform, per territory, with contractual rate tiers and deductions correctly applied.
Where a third party — including a major — has collected on rights it no longer holds, we run the formal dispute and clawback procedure.
We work across both rights layers: neighbouring rights and copyright. Publishing audits, society reviews and clearing up duplicate registrations are part of it.
Rights data, data room, separate valuation of neighbouring rights and copyright income, support through due diligence. Clean data sells faster and higher.
Airplay detection across radio and television through our partnership with Radiomonitor, currently more than 120 countries. On the neighbouring rights side your own monitoring is not a prerequisite — there the broadcasters' usage reports form the basis for distribution. It earns its keep in evidencing cue sheet gaps, in retroactive claims and in finding unlicensed uses. Clients get access to the terms of our framework agreement.
Not Only Music
The audit logic is not music-specific. Wherever recurring licence fees are reported and settled, the same questions apply: is the basis of calculation correct, has every use been reported, was the agreed rate applied?
Neighbouring rights, copyright, streaming, sync.
Repeat fees, revenue shares, master use.
Unit-based royalties, minimum guarantees, territory limits.
Print runs, user counts, term models, follow-on licensing.
How We Engage
You keep every right. Beat Box acts on your behalf towards collecting societies and payers: registering repertoire, filing claims, monitoring distributions and resolving disputes.
Every engagement is in writing. The recordings or works covered are listed in a schedule, territories and term are named, and the mandate can be exclusive for collection purposes without any ownership passing. It ends when you end it.
Which scope fits your catalogue is part of the free analysis.
First Conversation
A brand, a catalogue, a work or an idea — the first assessment costs nothing. We will tell you honestly whether a licence model pays off, or where revenue is going missing.
