If an artist prefers to receive up-front money for their songsinstead of waiting for the money to come in over time, itcan choose to assign its copyright to a music publisher.
The music publisher pays a cash advance for what they
decide is the value of the copyright. It is common for aband to sign a copublishing deal. This means that thepublisher offers the artist an advance in exchange for half the publishing income. When the advance is paid back, themusic publisher retains 25% of the income. Since an artisthas no guarantees whether or not their song will be
popular, some may prefer to have a cash advance thatguarantees them money regardless of how well the songdoes.
