Sync rights cover the composition/lyrics of a song held by the music publisher. dubbing rights also known as master rights cover the recorded version of a song, held by the record label. mechanical rights need to be cleared in order to duplicate your music, such as on dvd. this can be dine through a right society with the publisher. Lastly, performance rights need to be cleared in order to broadcast your music in tv or online, usually the tv channel/website is responsible for obtaining these rights. to get these rights cleared, you can do several things. For commercial music, you can contact the music publisher and the record label (sync & master rights). With cover versions, you need to clear sync and mechanical rights with the publisher. specially composed music should include the sync and master rights, and the composition should be completely original. production music libraries is the easiest alternative since they own both the sync and master rights.
