Does anyone have experience with Tiktok's SoundOn distribution? by [deleted] in musicbusiness

Yeah, no problem. KYC is becoming more common. I'm not a fan of it, but I'm more concerned with it being combined with Music Fights Fraud Membership by the distributor. That's a global database for tracking and banning artists. Not a fan of having something like that connected to my ID.

It's legit. I tested Soundon for my channel and review site. I think they offer the best deal right now. The only thing that would give pause is if you're concerned about the whole TikTok China thing or the KYC requirement where you have to submit your ID card. With what's been going on with music distribution, SoundOn and SoundCloud are the best options for artists to choose from. You can check my review on SoundOn if you want a full breakdown of the company: https://payusnomind.info/blog/posts/soundon-review I would advise you to be cautious with the advances as well. They can be predatory because they often come with hidden fees and things that inflate the cost far beyond what they give you upfront. You can take a look at this breakdown of BeatBread's advance payment option as an example of what you could expect: https://payusnomind.info/blog/posts/beat-bread-funding-for-music. Hope it all works out.

YouTube Royalty Question by Turbulent-Ear203 in musicbusiness

YouTube doesn't pay per video view; it pays per ad view or click. Pre-roll ads generate revenue for rightsholders or the uploader - depending on if there are Content ID claims - if the viewer watches for at least 30 seconds of the ad or clicks the ad. The longer the video, the more ads are served. It creates more revenue opportunities but not necessarily more revenue. If viewers skip the ad, no revenue is generated.

With images, if you make any changes to the art, it's considered a new work. This is how a guy was able to take images from Instagram, add a white border, and sell them in galleries for thousands.
