Q: So what is the difference between Synchronization Rights and Master Use Rights? A: Synchronization Rights only license the composition itself; Master Use Rights only license the sound recording. In order to use a recorded song in a film, for example, both Synchronization and Master Use Rights must be licensed as they represent two separate copyrights. Q: What is a Compulsory Mechanical License and what is the corresponding Statutory Rate? A: The mechanical license was the first compulsory license created in US Copyright law, originating in 1909. A Compulsory Mechanical License allows an individual or company to record, distribute, reproduce and sell a composition in exchange for a royalty paid to the owner for each sale pursuant to the guidelines of US Copyright. The Statutory Rate was set by the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel until November 30, 2004 when the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004 replaced CARP with a system of three Copyright Royalty Judges.
