1. Category prices. You must choose a price category from one of four price categories. This does not ensure an identical price in all channels, since the channels have the right to determine the final price of an product, depending on the territory and currency of a sale. The categories are indicative of the range of price you desire for each album individually. The price categories (in the platform) are: Budget: equivalent to an economic or the most affordable price. Mid: equivalent to a standard or common prince in each channel. Full: equivalent to a higher or more expensive than the standard price. Premium: equivalent to the more expensive price. 2. Release dates. Depending on the date indicated in this section, the album will be published in the channels sooner or later.

If the album is distributed after the release date, it will be directly published within the 2 to 10 work days, from its distribution. 3. License. You can choose between two main types of license, these are: Copyright or Creative Commons.

In the case of groups or bands where rights are shared, the group or band name can be indicated in both cases mentioned above. 4. Territories. If you do not have publishing rights for all territories, or it is not of your interest the publication in all territories, you may indicate the desired territories in the “License” section in the platform.

For Parody, Karaoke, Tribute and Cover albums, the name of the original artist should not be displayed in any artist field on track level, nor at the album's level. You must use clarifying language to ensure that consumers will not think those original artists are performing on your album or track.

For a cover you will need to present an authorization signed by the original rights owner - who will allow you to use the work for commercial purposes. You can obtain a license through different online services, as for example www.easysonglicensing.com. You need the license only in case that the adapted songs belong to an Anglo-Saxon area. If the songs are from a latin area, South America and Occidental Europe - excluding Aglo-Saxon countries - it is enough to mention at the track level the original composer and the publishing house (label and/or producer rights owner) assigning their correspondent roles. For versions from territories that we don't comment here, please, contact our Support team. If the version modifies substantially the work, as a radical variation of the lyrics/musical content, you must present a more specific rights owner permission to distribute the content. The documentation reported has to be contrastable and true. Attention: Do not confuse the term "version" or "cover" with a "remix". If you did a remix or if you are using any recording sample that belongs to another person, you will have to request the authorization from the original master owner. 8. Continuous mixes and DJ sets. Dj sets (with own or other's artists tracks) and continuous mixes (that is, putting all the tracks of an album together in a single track creating a continuous mix) are not allowed

Please, be sure to accomplish all the following requirements in order to distribute your release correctly, thereby preventing additional updates and other arrangements that would imply additional costs to the distribution. 1. Artist name choice. Before distributing your album, make sure that no other artists is currently using the same artist or band name (similar or identical), since this can cause conflicts in the channels, and your albums may be combined under the catalog of the other artist with similar artist or band name, or vice-versa. 2. Primary artist assignation. The main artist of an album, must appear as the primary throughout the complete album. 3. Format. The spelling of the artist name, must be correct and consistent across the entire contents of that artist 4. Composer. Composers have to be indicated only at the track level, not at the release level - except if we talk about Singles with only one track. Non classical music composers have to appear at both levels (track and release). If there are more than 4 composers appearing in all tracks we will have to use “Various Composers” instead to list them one by one. At the album's level you can use all roles as wanted, as long as all the involved ones (producers, performers, composers, etc.) appear in all tracks without exception. 5. Other information. The artist's name must not include any additional information, such as his role, dates, instrument, former band, webpage, etc. 6. "Various Artists" use. If there are four or more primary artists on the album, the artist name to be mentioned at album’s level must be "Various Artists". Do not include more than three primary artists at album level. At the track level is preferable that do not appear too many primary artists names. It is important not to confuse the role with "performer". For example, if it's about a band, the band name must appear as primary artist and the members names as performers. 7. Incorrect Display of "Various Artists". Variations or abbreviations of "Various Artists" (eg "V/A", "VA", "Various", "Various Artist" or similar) should not be used as an artist name for the content in English. The translation of "Various Artists" are acceptable, but, only if they are compatible with the language of the content. 8. Compound Artist. Each artist field must only contain one artist name. Two or more performers or groups in the same artist field is considered a compound artist, although artists who are generally listed together as a band are not considered compound artists and can or must be listed together. If it is not the case, and there is more than one performing artist, each artist must be listed individually and assigned as Primary. 9. Generic Artists. Generic artists such as “Chorus”, “Orchestra”, and “Singer”, are not accepted in any genre. The artist names should be specific to a person, a group or band, a show or a production. 10.

The release reference number can appear in the cover, but not the release's UPC or any track's ISRC codes. 4. Tracklisting and illegible texts.

Logos, images and registered brand. Every logo appearing in the cover must be justified in the metadata, including the involved texts. These logos will be accepted if they guard clear relation with the album's content and explain some relevant information - producer, artist, label, etc. Designers or artists -who created the cover design- mentions won't be accepted as any other external content that isn't involved with the release directly.

In addition, it will be necessary to report documentation to prove the consent of the involved mentioned institution to use its name.

A Composition is a music asset type that represents the musical work embodied within a master recording (sound recording). The copyright in the song encompasses the words and music and is owned by the songwriter and/or music publisher. The copyright in the musical work itself is owned by the songwriter and/or the music publisher, who grant the record label a "mechanical" license to record and distribute the song as part of the record. Each composition may be embedded within multiple sound recordings but each sound recording will only have one embedded composition asset.

Copyright is the legal right to exclusive publication, production, sale or distribution of a literary or artistic work. Copyright is granted by law in most countries and in the United States by a federal statute called The Copyright Act of 1976.

Fair Use is an exception in the copyright law that allows small portions of a work to be used without permission for nonprofit, news, educational, or parody purposes. The doctrine is however often misunderstood. To fall under "Fair Use", only a small portion of the work may be used and the use must not affect the value or marketability of the work. Selling concert recordings or photocopying sheet music without permission would not fall under fair use. Check out the following links for more information on Fair Use: Copyright.gov - Fair Use The official Copyright Office explanation of Fair Use. What Is Fair Use?

A Music Video is a music asset type that represents audiovisual music content. Music video assets are generally promotional clips. Music video assets usually embed sound recordings
