_Publishing Companies_
<br /> A Publishing company can take over part of the copyright in return for using their<br /> business resources to make more money out of that copyright. They can offer<br /> advances to songwriters (completely separate from any money the record label<br /> might advance). They can do the power lunch thing and get your shit on some<br /> movie soundtrack which can easily earn more money than the original record did.<br /> Major labels usually have their own publishing arm (such as Warner Chappell)<br /> which often deals in music that is not even on the major label in question.<br /> Publishing companies can also use their big muscle to make sure you get paid for<br /> stuff. Money just doesn't seem to make it to the little guys unless they are sitting<br /> on the knee of a big guy. Hmmm. I wonder why ?
I haven't really collected much info on specific companies. Usually, if you are<br /> working with a bigger label, they have the Publishing worked out (Novamute,<br /> Strictly Rhythm etc.).
