The MLC:
The Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) is a nonprofit organization created through the Music Modernization Act of 2018 and designated by the U.S. Copyright Office to administer blanket mechanical licenses for digital music services in the United States.
In simple terms, the MLC helps ensure songwriters, composers, publishers, and other music rights holders are paid accurately when their music is streamed or downloaded through services like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and others. To do this, we collect and process massive amounts of music usage data, match recordings to the correct musical works and rights holders, and distribute royalties to those who have earned them.
Importantly, registration with the MLC is completely free. Songwriters, composers, and self-administered publishers can create an account, register their works, and collect eligible mechanical royalties at no cost. Our mission is to make royalty collection more transparent, accessible, and efficient so that creators receive the money they have earned.
