What is The MLC and what royalties does it collect?

The MLC is a collection society active in United States that can affect how mechanical royalties are matched, processed, and distributed. For artists, songwriters, labels, publishers, and rights holders, understanding how The MLC works matters because society data, registrations, and reciprocal flows often determine whether money is paid correctly or remains unmatched. Monetunes helps collect these royalties by organizing your ownership data, registering eligible works, fixing metadata issues, and recovering income linked to The MLC and connected societies worldwide.
