Music Law Maven-music law insights and royalty calculations.

Example

An artist wants to know how much they can expect to earn from 1 million streams on Spotify and Apple Music.

Scenario

Music Law Maven helps by providing estimates based on average per-stream payouts on Spotify ($0.003 to $0.005) and Apple Music ($0.007 to $0.01). It can also account for distribution fees or other deductions the artist may need to pay. If a track receives 1 million streams on Spotify at an average rate of $0.004 per stream, Music Law Maven can estimate a gross payout of $4,000, allowing the artist to plan their income accordingly.

Example

A music producer signs a net receipt deal with an artist and needs to understand their payout based on PPD and the net receipt percentage.

Scenario

Music Law Maven converts between PPD (Published Price to Dealers) and net receipts, helping producers calculate their share. For instance, if the producer is entitled to 3% PPD, Music Law Maven calculates that as 15% of net receipts. If the net receipts total $100,000 after all deductions, the producer would receive $15,000. The system can also factor in whether this percentage applies before or after marketing costs are recouped.

Example

An artist with a recording deal wants to understand how recoupment of marketing costs will impact their royalties.

Scenario

Music Law Maven can analyze the artist's contract and offer insights on recoupment clauses. For example, if the artist earns 15% royalties, but the label spent $50,000 on marketing, Music Law Maven explains that the artist won’t receive royalties until the $50,000 is recouped from their revenue. It helps break down how much the artist would owe and at what point they can start earning royalties.
