Collecting royalties from YouTube videos that use your music

Collect royalties when anyone anywhere in the world uploads a youtube video containing your music It is very surprising that 90% of independent music is still not registered in YouTube's Content ID system and most people don't even know about it. It works by scanning for registered music in videos accross YouTube, such as video gameplay footage using your music in the background, and runs advertisements on videos where matches are detected in order to generate royalties to you. There are some musicians that actually make a living off of just this but for most it is an easy passive supplemental source that helps pay for studio expenses.   Orfium provides Content ID services and unlike the PROs, it pays quickly following the end of every month and reports to you every single video URL your music has claimed. If you have music available anywhere on the internet there is a good chance there are videos somewhere on YouTube using your music that you don't know about and aren't getting paid for.   Many distributors and large labels also provide this service if you opt-in however many only have the power to monetize Sound Recordings and do so through 3rd parties. At Orfium we have a direct partnership with YouTube with no middle-man and the power to properly monetize both your Sound Recordings and Compositions. Claimed videos generate 50% more royalties when both rights are asserted together as opposed to just the Sound Recording alone. A Composition also has the power to claim cover songs and other derivative works that make use of your melody and therefore generates more total claims than a Sound Recording as well.   If you have a channel on YouTube with partnership privleges, then you may have limited access to Content ID, however it will only match samples of videos you upload but will not generate audio-only matches which make up the majority of claims. In order to register your audio you must do so through a YouTube Content ID admin such as Orfium or your label / distributor. Also if you don't have partnership privileges with YouTube, we have a multi-channel network (MCN) through which we can grant those privileges to you. Orfium's payout rate is 80% for Content ID and 90% on the MCN. To get started all you have to do is upload your music to Orfium and enable YouTube Monetization in your upload settings, and if you are interested in the MCN then email us with your YouTube channel information.   If you believe you are already registered through another service provider, just make sure you are getting detailed statements. If you don't see a separate line item for YouTube Content ID and aren't recieving video reports, then are probably missing these royalties. Also make sure that both your Sound Recording and Composition rights are being represented because if not then you are missing out on 50% more royalties.   I hope you found this information helpful. We also have many other projects going on at Orfium to empower artists that you should check out. Orfium is a front-facing social retail music platform built on a licensing and rights management back-end. You can support our mission by utilizing our YouTube services which helps fund us and keep us independent of investors so we can maintain control and stay true to the cause, and it's a great service that generates royalties for you which is a truly win-win.  Learn More About Orfium:   https://www.orfium.com/welcome/   Want to cover our story?

The Huffington Post: Orfium is Ready to Revolutionize the Music Industry

The Huffington Post: Orfium is Ready to Revolutionize the Music Industry The music industry has changed massively since the introduction of the internet, for both good and bad. In the positive, artists are able to explore new musical styles, experiment with technology, and find inspiration from all over the world. Listeners have access to virtually every song ever written at their fingertips. Unfortunately, at the same time, artists have completely lost control over how their music is consumed and how they themselves are compensated for their efforts. Listeners have gone from appreciating and buying music to expecting new music every five minutes, and often valuing none of it. The leaders in the industry—meaning established labels and artists—are making money while emerging artists are just hoping to see free plays on their tracks in hopes that they’ll land some decent gigs. Now enter Orfium, a fresh response to a very broken system...   - Read full article on The Huffington Post:   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/orfium-is-ready-to-revolutionize-the-music-industry_us_57f9214ae4b090dec0e7137f   Learn More About Orfium:   https://www.orfium.com/welcome/   Want to cover our story?

Meet Orfium Music:   https://www.orfium.com/welcome/ Last week Magnetic Mag kicked off the hype surround the launch with an article titled “Could Orfium be to SoundCloud what Facebook was to Myspace?” Orfium elegantly blends a full-featured music store, music social network, and licensing platform with a powerful back-end for rights management while also providing the most flexible and fair terms for artists.

New music solution is catching on

HELLO The problem with the current state of the industry is that there are many artists out there who despite generating 100k in gross sales only get to keep 15-20k with the remainder going to retailers and middle-man parties. These artists are forced to work second jobs in order to pay their living expenses. The goal at Orfium is to see that these same artists keep 80k and have the freedom to work on their music full-time.   Orfium's philosophy is as simple as it is powerful, to make technology openly and freely available to artists that puts artists in control of their careers. We aim to make all usage, licensing, and distribution policies completely customizable by the artist, eliminate all legal burdens, and provide the type of flexibility that can accomodate any complex relationship and 3rd party deals artists may have or be actively persuing.   Despite being an open beta work-in-progress, over 40,000 songs have been uploaded so far by over 12,000 artists and this is growing at an increasing rate. Within the next couple weeks major updates and improvements will be rolled out to elevate Orfium beyond beta. Foreshadowing what's to come, Orfium has been generating support by some of the largest touring EDM acts which you may have seen already if you are following along on Snapchat.     Go ahead and give Orfium a try and start uploading some music!   https://www.orfium.com/welcome/ We are problem solvers and would love to hear your suggestions. Please drop us a line at support@orfium.com and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Artists are standing up to exploitation

Hello!

We would like to extend you an invitation to a revolutionary social music marketplace for music professionals and listeners that puts artists in complete control of monetization, licensing, and distribution of music. It's called Orfium, and you can upload directly or automatically import your music from SoundCloud. Check out the YouTube video below for more details:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1acly29Cbo

Unlimited hosting is complimentary and Orfium provides much greater flexibility and more useful tools than any alternative out there. Most importantly we value each and every artist and our highest directive is our belief in our purpose to serve the entire music community.

Creation of a system that works for everyone is not unreasonable. In fact this is very achievable and already happening. There is no longer any reason to accept being lied to and exploited by monopolistic platforms that primarily serve corporate interests. It's up to you to decide whether to continue supporting and working for a greedy system or stop feeding it and collaborate to manifest a new system that works for you.

All that remains to do is spread the word and unite independent artists to make the change. We look forward to serving you in the brighter future!


Warmest Regards,

The Orfium Team

New Music Community and Preview Video

HELLO You may have recently seen Electronic Musician’s featured article about Orfium, the new artist-friendly cloud music service.   Orfium was created by tech-savvy musicians and music enthusiasts in response to SoundCloud’s lack of flexibility, monetization options and handling of remix licenses. While SoundCloud offers a terribly low ad-based earnings share and charges for pro account subscriptions, Orfium firmly believes that artists deserve to be in complete control of their music, keep the lion’s share of revenue and should never be charged for uploading. See the video below for more details:     Orfium operates on an 80/20 (Artist/Orfium) earnings split, maintains an open platform where it is free to upload and only makes money if artists do. Orfium gives artists the power to choose how their music is distributed including whether to offer free downloads, sell retail music directly to consumers, license music for creative projects, and monetize usage of their music on YouTube. With no long-term contacts and all services offered non-exclusively whenever possible there is no risk. Individual services can turned on or off at any time for individual tracks so that 3rd party deals artists have in place including with managers, collaborators, record labels, distributors, publishers and PROs can easily be accommodated.   At Orfium, we are problem solvers and we collaborate with all types of music professionals who want to fix the industry and help more artists make a living doing what they love. We have created accounts with special tools for managers, record labels, and distributors, and are also working on accounts for publishers and songwriters.   We are still new but have already created a feature rich platform containing all of the core functionality of a socially integrated music host, listening destination, and marketplace. That said, we still have a lot in the works and are working hard to improve the platform daily. We hope you already like what you see but also want you to know it will continue to get better!   Go ahead and give Orfium a try and start uploading today!   https://www.orfium.com/welcome/ We are problem solvers and would love to hear your suggestions. Please drop us a line at support@orfium.com and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
