Empowering Music Creators: Our Collaboration with the Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC)

At Elton Audio Publishing, we believe in the power of music and the rights of those who create it. Our collaboration with the Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) is essential to our mission. The MLC plays a critical role in the music industry, ensuring that songwriters, composers, and music publishers receive their digital audio mechanical royalties from U.S. digital platforms.

A Commitment to Rightful Compensation

The Mechanical Licensing Collective administers a blanket mechanical license for eligible streaming and download services in the U.S., collecting and distributing mechanical royalties to rightful owners. Historically, this process was complex and fraught with challenges. The MLC addresses these issues directly, ensuring transparency and accuracy in royalty distribution. This streamlined approach simplifies the administrative burden and guarantees that artists are compensated fairly for their work.

How Our Artists Benefit

By becoming a member of The MLC, Elton Audio Publishing ensures our artists benefit from this efficient system. Our artists can focus more on their creative endeavors, knowing that the tracking and collection of digital mechanical royalties are managed effectively. This partnership underscores our commitment to empowering artists, ensuring they are rewarded for their creativity and hard work. As the music industry continues to evolve, our collaboration with The MLC will remain a cornerstone of our support strategy, helping artists thrive in the digital age.
