Recursos y Verificación de Artistas

Yes. Music Coast is open-join. Artists can create an account and use Artist Verification to confirm an official profile, rights, or representation where profile control, uploads, monetization, or sensitive rights features require verification.

No. The Creator Monetization page is a plain-language summary. The separate versioned Creator Monetisation Agreement contains the complete proposed terms. Version 0.9 DRAFT is a draft pending Music Coast owner and legal approval and is not active until its status says Approved and active.

The recommended initial threshold, pending owner/legal approval, is US$25 equivalent / approximately £20. Balances below the approved threshold roll forward.

The recommended initial schedule, pending owner/legal approval, is monthly. Statements identify the reporting period, provider revenue, deductions, attribution basis, creator share, Music Coast share, holds, payable amount, carry-forward balance, method, and status where available.

The recommended initial deadline, pending owner/legal approval, is within 60 days after month-end and provider reconciliation, once eligibility, threshold, KYC, tax, payout, fraud, and rights requirements are satisfied.

The recommended initial UK methods, pending owner/legal approval and provider availability, are Wise or UK bank transfer.

Music Coast reconciles provider-reported advertising revenue with eligible Music Coast listening activity. Where exact impression-level matching is unavailable, eligible net advertising revenue is allocated pro rata by eligible listening time at the track and artist level. Artist statements identify the attribution basis used. Provider-side records may include StreamGuys delivery data, AdsWizz audio-ad delivery and revenue reports, Nimbus mobile mediation and auction reporting, and settlement or reporting from approved supply-side platforms (SSPs). Media.net and OpenX are listed as signed/onboarding SSP partners, while VRTCAL is listed as pending activation in the current configuration. An agreement, integration, onboarding step, or test does not by itself create payable artist revenue. Revenue enters an artist statement only after eligible inventory is live, provider-reported or remitted, and reconciled for the applicable reporting period. Music Coast uses internal eligible listening data for the same reporting period, and artist-page or placement revenue is separately attributed only where it can be reliably identified.

Yes. The Sample Artist Earnings Statement is a redacted illustrative web preview and downloadable PDF. It does not expose real artist or listener personal information.

The ICE Home Territories listed for the applicable Music Coast configuration are Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Romania, the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, Cyprus, Gibraltar, and Malta. Additional Tier 1–3 territories may be included under the applicable Rest of Licensed Territory configuration, subject to the Music Coast licence, represented repertoire, caps, service configuration, and terms.

ICE covers represented musical-work mechanical and communication-to-the-public rights under the applicable configuration. ICE Core generally includes represented PRS and MCPS repertoire, but this does not mean every composition worldwide is represented. Artists, songwriters, publishers, and administrators should keep their own registrations current.

PPL’s standard linear webcast licence does not cover Music Coast’s interactive/on-demand service. ICE also does not transfer or replace master-recording authorization. The artist, label, or authorized master rightsholder must grant Music Coast permission to use the master.

Yes. Music Coast accepts recordings already released through other DSPs and preserves the recording’s existing ISRC. A new ISRC should not be assigned to the same unchanged recording. A new or materially changed version, mix, edit, or recording may require a separate ISRC.

The recommended target, pending owner/legal approval, is that verified artist-requested takedowns are generally processed within five business days. Credible urgent infringement or safety matters may be handled sooner.

Eliminar música o cerrar una cuenta no hace que se pierda automáticamente un saldo ganado no disputado. Cualquier monto restante está sujeto a la conciliación final del proveedor, umbrales, reembolsos, contracargos, impuestos, revisión de fraude y disputas de derechos.

Depending on the review, Music Coast may request government identification, company or label registration, proof of authority, master-ownership or licensing documentation, distribution/label/management authorization, payout verification, applicable W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E forms, or permissions for samples, remixes, artwork, featured artists, and other third-party material.

Do not email sensitive identity, tax, banking, or contract documents. Submit the basic public form first. If sensitive documents are required, Music Coast will provide a temporary, authenticated, permission-controlled encrypted upload link. Access is role-restricted and logged, and retention/deletion rules apply.

No. Coins are optional fan-support items and are separate from statutory, collective, contractual, and direct advertising revenue. Music Coast does not promise a fixed cash amount to an artist for each coin.

Coin bundles and prices can vary by iOS, Android, web, account, currency, tax, territory, app-store fees, payment fees, refunds, and chargebacks. The purchase screen controls the final offer.

No. Direct artist allocation from subscription revenue is Planned / Not currently active. Any future program requires implementation, owner/legal approval, a published methodology, and inclusion in the active Creator Monetisation Agreement.

Yes. An established artist or authorized rightsholder may verify the official artist profile, review the Creator Monetisation Agreement, submit one release or a small number of tracks, preserve existing ISRCs, review presentation and the first statement, and expand to the full catalogue later.

Yes. Uploading to Music Coast does not transfer ownership. The artist, label, or authorized rightsholder grants only the non-exclusive permissions needed to operate the service under the applicable agreement and policies.

Yes, when they are authorized to act for the artist or rightsholder and can provide proof of that authority if requested through the secure verification process.

Only when the required master, composition, sample, featured-artist, artwork, and other third-party permissions can be verified. Music Coast may reject, restrict, remove, or hold monetization while rights are reviewed.
