Does the Statutory Mechanical Rate Change Depending on the Territory/Country My Song is Distributed In?
Yes - the statutory mechanical rate varies depending on the location/territory.
The major difference between the majority of the world and the United States system is that the duration of the track is not a factor in the calculation of mechanicals due. Instead, most countries have agreed on the mechanical royalties to be a percentage of a record’s published price to dealers.
