Royalty coverage
Does Songtrust collect songwriter performance royalties?
Partly
Songtrust is explicitly NOT a PRO. It administers the PUBLISHER share; your PRO still pays your writer share directly. You still need ASCAP or BMI.
What this stream is. Paid when the composition is performed or broadcast. Split into a writer share and a publisher share, and those two halves can be collected by different parties.
Nothing specific to this stream, but Songtrust carries 3 documented traps on other royalty streams. See them on the matrix.
