As an artist, it is very important that all of your works are registered and copyrighted to you as the creator. One of the most popular ways artists do this is through Harry Fox Agency (HFA). HFA is the mechanical licensing agent for the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) and over 40,000 other publishers around the world.
In essence, HFA acts as a comprehensive public registry for musical works and provides mechanical licenses for publishers and copyright holders, making it easier for businesses to legally use copyrighted music on things like CDs, streaming services, downloads, and more.
