A level playing field is fast emerging throughout the world for independent labels and artist-owned masters through a multitude of digital music stores; whether by paid digital download or on-demand streams. It is the responsibility of the sound recording owner to license and account mechanical royalties resulting from the sale of music by digital download or other means. It is becoming increasingly necessary for a label of any size to operate within the confines of mechanical licensing requirements. Bug Digital has the ability to license, account and pay all mechanical royalties for you. Bug Digital does not require up front fees of any kind.
