What is the MLC? The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) is a nonprofit organization designated by the U.S. Copyright Office to collect digital mechanical royalties in the United States pursuant to the Music Modernization Act of 2018.
The Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) is an organisation that collects royalties and protects rights for music publisher, song writer and composer members, when their music is reproduced, in any format – including online, physical and synchronised.
Here's an example: if someone wanted to buy a piano roll for their player piano, they had to get a mechanical royalty, which would be paid to the owner of the composition on the piano roll.
Each musical work has two copyrights attached to it - composition and recording. Mechanical royalties are paid to the owner of the composition copyright. Mechanical royalties come from the composition copyright.
The mechanical right: This is the right to record a work on record, cassette or CD. This is usually administered by either AMCOS or by music publishers. The synchronisation right: This is the right to use music on the soundtrack of a film or video and is usually administered in the same way as the mechanical right.
In copyright law, a mechanical license is a license from the holder of a copyright of a composition or musical work, to another party to create a "cover song", reproduce, or sample a portion of the original composition. It applies to copyrighted work that is neither a free/open source item nor in the public domain.
A mechanical license grants to the licensee (the person acquiring the license) the rights to reproduce and distribute a copyrighted musical composition in an audio format. Utilizing a song in a video requires a separate license (a synchronization license) possibly in addition to a mechanical one.
