Music Publishing

The figure of a publisher is very important to an artist.

Carlo Bellotti Publishing has every interest (Being co-owner of the work and therefore the corresponding economic exploitation) to use your material in many different ways and contexts, taking care of many of the aspects related to the licenses of synchronization, use of music recordings and live performances. Carlo Bellotti Publishing also takes care of protection and legal protection of your work, dealing with litigation, plagiarism, theft, and fraudulent actions that external entities could fulfill toward the artists we represent.

Carlo Bellotti Publishing protects the interests of the composer. It may be deduced from this that anyone who wants to use a song in a production must have recourse to the license of the publisher, that is the copyright owner. The proceeds of these licenses are divided (by contract) with the artists we represent. In the absence of publisher the majority of the proceeds earned from you will be “frozen” into the coffers S.I.A.E. or of other companies collecting and many operations will be impossible to bring to term. The first step of the publisher, involves the registration and deposit of the work. The formalization of the authorship of the work allows you to make it publicly available. Carlo Bellotti Publishing exerts a form of bureaucratic protection that the author could not achieve, and allows you to multiply your income because the work edited has a higher value.
