In Case Some Sh$# Go Down

Songwriting

Recording

Register the composition

1. Check with your own society whether the song is registered as a work, with every writer and their split.
2. If it is not, register it (title, writers, splits, IPI numbers) or ask your publisher or administrator to do it.
3. Ask for the ISWC once it is assigned and add it to your distributor's metadata.
4. In countries where you have no sub-publisher, check the work reached the local society; if not, ask your society to send it or claim it there.
5. Ask each society for back-payment of the periods they still allow you to claim.
