A generated dialogue exploring why music publishing is one of the most misunderstood yet powerful parts of a musician’s career. The conversation breaks down what publishing actually is, why ownership matters, the difference between compositions and recordings, and how publishing controls access to royalties, sync opportunities, and long-term income. It examines publishing administrators versus publishing deals, the risks of giving up rights too soon, and how informed songwriters can collect both writer’s and publisher’s shares without surrendering control.

Presented as a generated dialogue.
