MECHANICAL CLAIMS (UK)
Although Mechanical Claims are primarily oriented to royalty income from the manufacture of CDs / Vinyl Records / Cassettes etc., it also covers any music that is rendered mechanically; that is, without human performers and also to system transfers undertaken by broadcasters and streaming outlets.
Most UK Mechanical Royalties are processed automatically.
You can manually claim mechanical royalties if your music has been featured on a UK magazine cover
disc, a compilation album or if your music has been officially released on CD, DVD, Vinyl or even
Cassette in the UK through a recognised major or independent record label.
