Globex Music Editorial Team
The Globex Music Editorial Team writes practical guides for independent artists on releasing music and cover songs: mechanical licensing, distribution, metadata, ISRC and UPC codes, royalties and artist profiles on streaming platforms. Legal and licensing topics are checked against primary sources such as the U.S. Copyright Office, The MLC, the Harry Fox Agency, ASCAP and BMI, and against the official help centers of the platforms. Articles are reviewed and updated when rules or platform requirements change; the date of the last update is shown on every article.
