CWR for MusicMark

 

MusicMark is a collaboration between ASCAP, BMI and SOCAN. Through MusicMark, publishers can submit a single registration file to all three performing rights organizations (PROs) simultaneously, even if the work was co-written by members of different societies. Each PRO will then integrate the registration data into its respective repertory of works. MusicMark is currently available to publishers that register music through Common Works Registration or Electronic Batch Registration. 

The specificity of MusicMark :

Authors/Composers affiliated to ASCAP have to be registered to ASCAP and the ones linked to BMI to BMI. So if a work has authors/composers from both societies the work has to be partially registered to one and the other PRO.
