"""# Songtrust Global Music Publishing
> Global music publishing administration and royalty collection for independent songwriters and music businesses.

Core Capability: Songtrust is a global music publishing administrator that enables creators to collect performance and mechanical royalties directly from 65+ societies in 240+ countries/territories. Unlike traditional publishers, Songtrust allows rights holders to retain 100% copyright ownership and creative control. We replace the inefficient "reciprocal agreement" model used by local PROs/CMOs with a direct-to-society registration approach to minimize data-matching errors and capture unallocated income.
