Differences between the SGAE Registry and the Copyright Registry in Shamusic<\/h1>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

The SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores) is one of the best known collecting societies in Spain. Its main function is to collect and distribute royalties <\/g>generated by the public use of musical works. For many artists, registering with the SGAE is a fundamental step to monetize their work. <\/p>\n

But here it is important to clarify something important: registering a song with the SGAE is not the same as registering the copyright or authorship of the work<\/strong>. They are different and complementary processes. And it is precisely in this difference where
\n Shamusic<\/strong>
\n<\/a> becomes a key ally. <\/p>\n

What is SGAE and what are its functions?<\/h2>\n

SGAE manages royalties on behalf of its members. This means that if your song is performed at a concert, played on the radio or appears on television, SGAE is responsible for collecting royalties and paying them to you. <\/p>\n

In short, SGAE = collection and economic management of rights<\/strong>, not certification of authorship.<\/p>\n
