Along with setting policies for how your content is managed at Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, the Vydia platform allows creators to deliver to and collect royalties from SoundExchange.
SoundExchange is a collection society that collects performance royalties earned on the sound recording from non-interactive digital streaming like iHeartRadio and Pandora. Vydia only collects the Rights Owner portion of royalties on your behalf, so make sure to register as an artist to collect the other portion as applicable.
The Vydia platform makes it easy to determine how your content is managed on SoundExchange:
- Claim From Inception - Vydia will deliver and collect on your content at SoundExchange from the date your recording was released. This is typically selected when royalties have never been collected.
- Claim From Specific Date - Vydia will deliver and collect on your content at SoundExchange from the specific date that you provide within the platform. This is typically selected in a catalog transfer where a previous party has rights up to a certain date. If this is the case, select the date after the previous rights holder rights are terminated.
- Do Not Claim - Vydia will not claim your content on SoundExchange.
