In every country, there are one or more agencies that look out for the songwriters. Through these agencies, the writers get paid their publishing royalties from the stores.
It is important for the writers to add their song to the agency to receive the publishing royalties.
IMPORTANT: Amuse only makes royalty payments to the artist. NOT to the writers as publishing royalties to the writers are paid through these agencies.
