What is a controlled composition clause and what does it mean to the songwriter?
The industry negotiated rate of 8.1 cents can sometimes be voluntarily reduced if the songwriter is the artist or if the record is sold through a discount music club. The songwriter and the publisher would have to agree to this reduced rate during the negotiation period with the record company in order for the Controlled Composition Clause to be exercised.
