The song.
And the record.
Lion Publishing House looks after both sides of a track: the song and the recording. We register them with UCMR-ADA, UPFR and their sister societies abroad, collect what they earn, place them in film, TV and ads, and buy catalogs outright.
Song & master
One track.
Two rights.
Both collected.
Every track carries two rights: the song, meaning the music and the lyrics, and the recording, meaning the master. Most owners collect one and forget the other. We register and collect both.
- Registration
- Both sides filed
- Songs with UCMR-ADA, recordings with UPFR, with the right titles, owners and shares.
- ISWC & ISRC
- A code for each
- One code for the song, one for the recording, so each can be found anywhere.
- Splits & IPI
- Shares agreed
- Writer and owner shares in writing, matched to each rights holder's ID.
- Collection
- Money in
- Performance and mechanical royalties for the song, broadcast and public performance income for the master.
- Sister societies
- Abroad too
- The same rights claimed in other countries: GEMA, SACEM, PRS, PPL, SoundExchange and the rest.
- Unidentified
- Nothing left behind
- We search the unmatched lists on both sides for what is yours and claim it.
Catalogs
Every catalog,
opened up.
Pick a track from the example catalog. This is how we read a catalog before we run it or make an offer for it: who wrote the song, who owns the master, where each is registered and where it is missing.

Acquisition
We buy catalogs.
Song catalogs, master catalogs or both. Whole or in part, from writers, heirs, labels and publishers. We look at what the tracks earn today and at what is not being collected, then make an offer.

Sub-publishing
Your catalog,
represented here.
For publishers and labels abroad. We register your songs and recordings locally, match them in broadcast and venue logs, license them for local use and send the money home with statements you can read.
- Songs with UCMR-ADA, recordings with UPFR
- Claims on radio, TV, venues and live use
- Local sync pitching and licensing
- Work-by-work statements
Illustrative board. Rows show how income travels, not real figures.
Sync
Songs
in picture.
Film, series, ads and games. Every placement ends up on a cue sheet, and the cue sheet is what gets writers and master owners paid. Pick a cue.
| Cue | Title | Writers | Publisher · Master | Use | In – Out | Duration |
|---|
For writers and labels
We pitch your tracks to music supervisors, agencies and studios, negotiate the fee for the song and the master, and make sure every placement is on the cue sheet.
For music supervisors
One contact for the song and, where we represent it, the master. Quick quotes and clear paperwork for both sides.
