The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC)
This is an important distinction for our directory: The MLC collects U.S. digital audio mechanical royalties. It does not replace ASCAP or BMI, which handle public performance royalties.
Independent songwriters, composers, and lyricists who self-administer their musical works, as well as music publishers, publishing administrators, and eligible collective management organizations. Songwriters whose publishing is administered by another company should confirm who handles their MLC registration and collections.
