Commercial content creators pay Liberty a licensing fee for each song licensed, based on their intended usage: 'The Three T's'':

• TYPE of use (e.g. media platform and application)
• TERM of use (e.g. length of time)
• TERRITORY of use (e.g. local, regional, worldwide)

Liberty's license fees are determined according to market conditions for each combination of ''The Three T's'' and will be updated periodically.
Before receiving their selected music, commercial content creators must agree to Liberty's Licensee Agreement, stipulating their intended use for each track licensed.

Liberty pays Artists every 6 months. We send artists/composers a cheque for 50% of the cumulative sync fees generated by their music. Artists will receive payment directly from their PRO (i.e. SOCAN, ASCAP, BMI) for placements that generate performance royalties. In situations where there are music supervision fees or similar commissions involved, costs are split 50%/50% between artists/composers and Liberty.
Performance royalties are allocated as follows:

• Artist/Composer:  100% of songwriters royalties
• Artist/Composer:   50% of publishing royalties
• Liberty:   50% of publishing royalties

It is important to note that the share of publishing royalties received by Liberty applies only for placements made by Liberty.

A PRO is a performing rights organization. This includes SOCAN, ASCAP, BMI, GEMA and others. These organizations are responsible for the collection and the distribution of performance royalties to artists.
It is necessary that Artists and composers join a PRO in order collect royalty payments.
