Your options in Brazil
If you own the masters, a producers' society pays you for radio, TV and public plays of your recordings. Studio producers are usually paid by the label; some performers' societies also pay studio producers.

How we chose these

Why join?
Songwriters
Societies pay the writers registered with them. If you write songs and aren't a member of an authors' society, your writer share of radio, TV, live and streaming plays can't reach you. It sits unidentified until it is claimed, or is shared out to others.
Performers
When a recording you are on is broadcast or played in public, performers are owed a share (neighbouring rights). It is paid through performers' societies, and registering is how it finds you.
Producers and publishers
Master owners collect their share of the same plays through producers' societies. Publishers collect the publisher share of the songs through the authors' society. Both collect through a society membership.
