Master Rights:
The term Master Rights derives from "Master Record", an original finished sound recording that comes out of the sound studio and which can be played back, or reproduced. Master royalties generate from the sound recording (rather than the composition) from physical/download sales and streams. Artists make money from master recordings by selling their own recordings directly to their audience (for example, selling CDs at shows), or by using online aggregators to distribute their master recordings to platforms like iTunes, Spotify or Apple Music. They might also sign a deal with a record label, who will help produce the recordings and distribute them to the public. Traditional major label deals involve an artist signing away their Master Rights to a record label for a period of time, or the whole duration of the copyright. This means that any recordings made by the artist may be owned (partially) by the label – in return, the artist gets an advance on future royalties.

Neighbouring Rights:
These are royalties owed to the master copyright holder when their song is played in a different territory. Also called “related rights,” Neighbouring Rights are similar to the Public Performance Rights associated with compositions, but they are paid to recording owners (usually labels) and performing artists, rather than songwriters and publishers. In the U.S., this is called a "digital performance" right and is only recognized for non-interactive digital transmissions, such as satellite and digital radio (e.g., Sirius XM and Pandora) - notably not for broadcast radio.

Royalty payouts are expected to happen on a quarterly basis. ANote Music will be distributing the exact amounts straight to the investor’s account and portfolio wallet. The standard fees are applied as is the case for other auctions: 4% when the rights have been acquired during primary market listings, 8% in the case they were traded on the secondary market. For more information on our fees, read more on the dedicated section on our platform.

As with any listing on the ANote Music platform, an in depth due diligence process has been executed by our team, carefully analysing and evaluating the historical track record and future roadmap for the catalogue. Following this and in agreement with the rights owner (Sundance Music ApS), the initial price has been determined based on the past 12 months average of generated royalties linked to the included rights and has been set at a multiple of 15.5x (over a listing term of the Life of Rights - up to 80 years as defined by the transferor).
