Rights Recovery

What you are owed
is not paid out by itself.

Around 30% of neighbouring rights income goes uncollected without active management. We find it, register it, enforce it — and then check whether the statements add up.

Six building blocks,
bookable individually.

01

Neighbouring rights recovery

Uncollected and misdirected phonogram and producer shares at GVL, PPL, SENA, SIMIM, SoundExchange and the remaining societies. Registration, disputes, claims — up to six years retroactive, success-based.

02

Royalty audit & licence review

We obtain the complete statement history, cross-reference reported figures against independent consumption data, and challenge confirmed discrepancies in writing. Largest single audit recovery to date: €4.5M.

03

Royalty statement preparation

Audit-proof statements for streaming, download, physical, neighbouring rights and sync — per track, per platform, per territory, with contractual rate tiers and deductions correctly applied.

04

Retroactive claims

Where a third party — including a major — has collected on rights it no longer holds, we run the formal dispute and clawback procedure.

05

Copyright & publishing

We work across both rights layers: neighbouring rights and copyright. Publishing audits, society reviews and clearing up duplicate registrations are part of it.

06

Catalogue valuation & sale

Rights data, data room, separate valuation of neighbouring rights and copyright income, support through due diligence. Clean data sells faster and higher.

Statements and audits
for every kind of licence.

The audit logic is not music-specific. Wherever recurring licence fees are reported and settled, the same questions apply: is the basis of calculation correct, has every use been reported, was the agreed rate applied?

Music rights

Neighbouring rights, copyright, streaming, sync.

Film, TV & sync

Repeat fees, revenue shares, master use.

Brand & product licences

Unit-based royalties, minimum guarantees, territory limits.

Publishing & software

Print runs, user counts, term models, follow-on licensing.

One operating model.
No transfer of rights.

Mandate

You keep every right. Beat Box acts on your behalf towards collecting societies and payers: registering repertoire, filing claims, monitoring distributions and resolving disputes.

Scope & documentation

Every engagement is in writing. The recordings or works covered are listed in a schedule, territories and term are named, and the mandate can be exclusive for collection purposes without any ownership passing. It ends when you end it.

  • Covered recordings named in a signed schedule
  • Territories, term and termination defined up front
  • No ownership transfer at any point

Which scope fits your catalogue is part of the free analysis.

A brand, a catalogue, a work or an idea — the first assessment costs nothing. We will tell you honestly whether a licence model pays off, or where revenue is going missing.
