Music rights can include various types of intellectual property, such as publishing rights, recording rights, and merchandising rights. Music rights societies, like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, help manage and collect royalties for songwriters and publishers.

Who owns the right to music and how it is transferred can be complex. In general, songwriters and publishers own the publishing rights to a song, while record labels and artists own the recording rights. However, there are many exceptions and nuances to this rule.
