Generally, the international rights society collects the royalties and distributes them to the sub-publisher you have an agreement with.
BMI is only entitled to collect your publisher performance royalties if you have not assigned your performing rights to a publisher in another territory. You should review your contracts carefully for the details on the rights you have assigned.
If you have entered into an agreement with another publisher and that publisher is assigned the right to collect a portion or all of your performance royalties in another country, you should notify BMI.
More importantly, if your agreement terminates, you should notify BMI of this termination.
Forms containing the information required by BMI are being furnished for your convenience with the required information: International Agreement Notice or Termination of International Agreement.
You can send this information to our International Administration Department via email, fax (615) 401-2759 or postal mail.
