The first and most important thing that we have to bear in mind is that when we listen to a song on the radio, television, live or on any streaming platform, two types of rights are being generated and, therefore, two types of income: one for the musical composition (property of the author or publisher) and another for the recording of the sound / master (property of the artist or record company). At this point, and as far as catalog sales are concerned, we are going to focus on the former.

There are many who believe that when an artist / author sells her repertoire, or what is the same, her catalog of songs, he is directly selling her rights as an author. And to a certain extent yes, but not entirely, because within copyright, a distinction must be made between moral rights - which cannot be sold or transferred - and economic or exploitation rights - which generate economic benefits. The latter are precisely those that the author / artist renounces when he sells her catalog.

At the moment when the artist "sells" his music, he is selling both the future income that will be generated with his songs, as well as the right to decide what use is given to this music, such as, for example, synchronize it in an advertisement, a series or a movie.
