What are Neighbouring Rights
Neighbouring rights are a crucial part of the music industry, ensuring that everyone who helps create a recording, including performers, producers, and other contributors, get fairly compensated when their music is used. While copyright protects the song itself, neighbouring rights focus on making sure those behind the recording are properly paid.
Whenever your music is played, on the radio, in public spaces, or across new media platforms, your royalties are protected, ensuring you receive the earnings you deserve.
At Cygnus Music, we’re committed to helping our clients maximise and monetise their music.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with Lime Blue.
