Frequently Asked Questions

MRG MUSIC RECORD GROUP LLC collects eligible royalties generated from supported digital music and video platforms where your content has been distributed or monetized. We track earnings from streaming, downloads, advertising, YouTube monetization, Content ID, and other digital revenue streams. Royalties are collected based on platform reporting, licensing agreements, and the rights associated with each release.

Under our standard royalty management agreement, 70% of eligible net royalty revenue is shared with the client — including artists, record labels, producers, songwriters, and other authorized rights holders. The remaining 30% is retained by MRG for royalty administration, distribution services, technology infrastructure, reporting systems, rights management, and operational expenses.

Royalty payments are processed in accordance with platform reporting schedules and our internal verification procedures. Clients receive detailed royalty statements with each payment, including revenue breakdowns, platform-wise earnings, and payment history. Payment frequency may vary based on the applicable distribution or service agreement.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that provides a framework for addressing copyright infringement online. MRG complies with the DMCA by responding to valid copyright infringement notifications, removing infringing content, and maintaining a repeat infringer policy. We also support counter-notification procedures for users who believe content was removed in error.

If you believe your copyrighted work is being used without authorization, you may submit a copyright infringement notification to MRG. Your notice should include:

• Identification of the copyrighted work
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material
• Your contact information
• A statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized
• A statement under penalty of perjury
• Your physical or electronic signature

All copyright complaints are reviewed in accordance with applicable law and company procedures.

MRG distributes content to a wide range of digital music and video platforms, including major streaming services, download stores, social media platforms, and Content ID systems. The specific platforms available may vary based on the rights associated with each release and the applicable distribution agreement. Our goal is to maximize your reach and revenue across the global digital music ecosystem.

Users may only upload and distribute content if they possess the necessary rights, licenses, or permissions. For cover songs, you must obtain the appropriate mechanical licenses or permissions from the copyright holder. Unauthorized remixes, samples, or recordings that infringe on third-party rights are strictly prohibited and may result in content removal or account termination.

Our services are available for a broad range of music industry professionals and rights holders, including independent artists, music record labels, producers, songwriters, composers, music publishers, audio and video rights holders, content creators, entertainment companies, and copyright owners.

To verify rights ownership, we may request documentation such as ownership records, copyright registrations, licensing agreements, publishing agreements, label agreements, chain-of-title verification, identity verification, and other supporting materials. Providing accurate and complete documentation helps ensure proper royalty allocation and protects your intellectual property.
