Can Stem collect and pay out my publishing royalties?

 At this time, Stem pulls out the statutory Mechanical Royalty from digital download sales in the U.S. (we even pay them to your publisher for you!).  

If you are self-published (meaning you have not signed a publishing deal or a publishing administration deal), we are happy to pull out this royalty and pay you your publishing earnings directly. 

If you have a publisher (meaning you have signed a publishing deal or a publishing administration deal), we will capture your publisher's name & contact information in the MANAGE CONTENT or ACCEPT SPLITS flow so that we can pay them your Mechanical Royalties directly. Your publisher is responsible for claiming & collecting publishing earnings on YouTube for you.
