The RightsController composite can communicate information about who owns what right in a sound recording. It sits, in ERN-3 and MLC versions 1.1 through 1.4  in the SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory composite. The RightsController composite has one subelement to define the territorial scope of the rights that are controlled. This means that there are two territory codes that govern this composite. These two have, however, different meanings:

  • The territory code above the RightsController composite (i.e. the one on SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory level) defines for which country the RightsController composite should be provided. It is mainly to enable to the communication of different names/spellings of the RightsControllers. This feature is no longer available in ERN-4.
  • The territory code inside the RightsController composite defines for which country the named RightsController owns the rights.

Assuming a company "Left Right" (spelled 左右 in Japan) owns 10% in France and 50% in Japan. This information can be provided as follows: 

  • SoundRecordingDetailsByTerritory
    • Country: France
    • RightsController
      • Name: Left Right
      • Country: FR
      • Percentage: 10%
