I want to consult with you guys about whether I’m planning to release music correctly and whether there are any legal or other problems that may arise.
It is important to understand that initially I am a songwriter (in Russian), earning money on stocks is an additional income (although sometimes significant). I have a non-exclusive account on the AJ.
At the moment, I plan to publish my songs as follows:
- I’m recording a song in Russian (original version) + an English version (stock version of the arrangement).
- I’m uploading the original version through a distributor for listening on streaming sites.
- I download the stock version through the distributor, but only on iTunes to get ISRC and UPC.
- I upload all available versions to the music synchronization and licensing service (not PRO), and Content ID.
- I am uploading the stock version to the available audio stocks, indicating that this track is used in the Content ID system.
I don’t want to miss out on income from any of my rights, but I also don’t want to violate the rights of buyers. Maybe this scheme can be improved somehow, or vice versa, exclude some points?
I hope for your advice!
