To determine the amount of royalties and the calculation of the use of copyrighted works in Ring Back Tone can be seen from the following elements:
The elements that are entitled to royalties RBT is also similar to the elements contained in the production of tapes, CDs, VCDs, etc.. such as record producer, author, singer, music arranger or music publishers as well (publisher). It's just that there is little difference between the percentage distribution between the record producer (the label) and songwriter.
If the previous explanation about the mechanical royalties that position songwriter highest percentage only gets 6%, which means the largest division is at the user / label. Why is that? Because the conventional circulation, in addition to promotional costs must be allocated fairly large, there is also a significant expenditure for the procurement of the cover (cover) and cassette / CD (manifacturing) follows penggandaannya (duplicating). The latter is (covering and duplicating), the RBT transaction is no longer needed. Of course this will affect the reduction of production costs and increased revenue compared with a conventional circulation system. We take the example of COMPASS, a Multi Collective Management Organization (collective management agency to mechanical and performing) in Singapore, the agency enforcing the imposition of a royalty of 12% of the sales price on the use telko repertoire for Ring Back Tone.
