Certain works might not be available through the work search due to administration reasons, please contact us if you can't find what you're looking for.

","id":"49441"},{"question":"Do you guarantee the accuracy of the results?","answer":"

The results you see are pulled from the details in our system at that given point in time. Some details change intermittently when registrations from publishers and writers are added to works. For this reason, we can't guarantee accuracy as the details may change between your search and any licensing activity that takes place after this. If you have any further questions, please get in touch.

","id":"49447"},{"question":"How do I search for a work?","answer":"

In Search, choose the 'works only' option.

Enter the title of the song or composition in the 'Title' field.

If you know who the writer is, enter the writer's surname only (not their first name) in the 'Writer' field. If you don't know who the writer is, leave it blank.

If you know who the performer is, enter the performer's name in the 'Performer' field. If you don't know who performs the work, leave it blank.

You can't search by writer alone. Performer or title is required.

","id":"155792"},{"question":"What does "AMCOS controlled %" mean?","answer":"

This shows the percentage of the work directly controlled by AMCOS. If AMCOS doesn't control 100% of a work you wish to license, you may need to contact a writer or publisher directly for approval. This total may include shares attributed to writers/publishers represented by AMCOS, OR writers/publishers represented by a foreign mechanical collection society that has a reciprocal agreement with AMCOS—where we collect on their behalf.
