    but how do i know if i am the publisher or not
    for example if i sell music on audiojungle.......is audiojungle the publisher, so therefore i don't need the publishing account?

    In the music industry, a music publisher or publishing company is responsible for ensuring the songwriters and composers receive payment when their compositions are used commercially. ... They also secure commissions for music and promote existing compositions to recording artists, film and television.

    Audiojungle is a distributor, like spotify or retail stores selling CDs.

    So if audiojungle sells my music to a client.....and they put it on TV.....

    does the client becomes my publisher?

    btw do you have experience with selling music to such libraries etc? Looking for guidance

    NOW in Canada (SOCAN) its split 50/50 50 for writers 50 for publishing
    so yes they are correct you may write with many people but you dont have to give them publishing
    you share the 50 writers with them
    that portion is called 100 percecent writers so 10 writers get 10 percent each Same as publishing 10 publishing compaines 10 percent each
    both are defined seperately So yes set up a writers account and a publishing account and ask for equal writers and publishing when working with a partner THATS FAIR so no one feels ripped off and are responsible for there own SHIT hope this helps
    You can Now Sell your Publishing and retain your writers :)
