I think this might the music publisher's role.
The main focus of the role is to administer,exploit, and collect royalties for its copyright properties. Administer entails the filling of a notice of copyright in the U.S. Copyright in Washington, the issuing of licenses, collecting of royalties, and paying writers and co-publishers their share of the proceeds. Exploitation involves getting artists to record your copyrights, and extends to getting them used in films,television,radio, and TV commercials, etc.

Hope this helped you ^.^

Answer:

Music Publisher

Step-by-step explanation:

Music Publisher is a person/company that aims to coordinate the promotion and publication of musical works in their various formats. It is also the function of a publisher to safeguard and protect musical works so that there is due payment by those who make use of them.

Basically there are three forms of contracts that can be concluded between publisher and author:

- Assignment agreement of the author's rights, where he assigns in full or non-onerous form all or part of his exclusive rights.

- Music publishing contract also generates the assignment of property rights, but the publisher undertakes to disclose and promote the works in addition to licensing and protecting their use.

- Future works contract happens when the author contracts with the publisher his future works in the period of the exclusive contract.
