Does Believe collect neighbouring rights via SoundExchange?

Does not

Its artist-facing subsidiary describes SoundExchange as something you may be eligible to collect YOURSELF. No collection service is offered.

What this stream is. Payment for NON-interactive play of the recording — satellite radio, webcasting. In the US this is SoundExchange, and it is nobody else's job.

Worth knowing about Believe

  • ★ The 50% SYNC COMMISSION on its DIY tier is the most under-noticed number in this matrix. It more than doubled in 2023 and can be opted out of in the publishing dashboard.
  • Distributing does NOT get you your MLC money. That needs the separate paid publishing product.
  • Nobody in this stack does SoundExchange for you. You are told to go collect it yourself.
