Hey everyone. I have a question about music publishing.

All CD liner notes contain publishing credits.

The following is an example.

Publishing for one particular song-

"Martin Johnson Publishing LLC (ASCAP) admin. by Almo Music Corp./Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. (BMI), o/b/o itself and Anaesthetic Publishing (SOCAN) / 3 Weddings Music (BMI), all rights administered by Songs of Kobalt Music Publishing / PS Publishing / Where Da Kasz At? (BMI), all rights administered by Songs of Kobalt Music Publishing / MXM Music AB (ASCAP), all rights administered by Kobalt Songs Music Publishing / J Kasher Publishing / Prescription Songs (ASCAP), all rights administered by Kobalt Songs Music Publishing / Sony / ATV Tunes LLC / Kevinthecity Publishing / J Kasher Music (ASCAP)"

What do all these names indicate?

What's with all the forward slashes?

What is the meaning behind all the acronyms within the parentheses?

How can you explain the "administered by" verbiage?

And why are there so many publishing credits for just one song?

Thanks everyone.

Okay... here's a brief summary to get you started:

First, some artists form an LLC or company separate from who they are. They publish their music from this company.

Next, in parenthesis, you will generally see ASCAP or BMI. This is the company that handles licensing of your songs and collects/pays you royalties when your song is used.

If you have a record label then their interests need to be protected... so that would by the Almo Music Corp. In this instance, it appears as though Warner-Tamerlane publishing uses BMI.

A lot of times if there are multiple people in the band and there are ore than 1 song writer you'll see their interests listed as well.

In the grand scheme of things, it's the list of all people who are getting paid, or have an interest in the music.
