Owned by SESAC (acquired 2015). Handles non-streaming US mechanicals (CDs, vinyl, downloads) plus sync licensing facilitation. Most streaming mechanicals moved to the MLC in 2021 but HFA still administers some publisher catalogs directly.
What HFA collects
A mechanical rights society collects mechanical royalties — money generated when a composition is reproduced, which today mostly means streams and downloads rather than physical copies.
HFA operates in United States and collects physical and download mechanicals, sync. It was founded in 1927.
Joining HFA
Joining cost: Free for publishers. Royalties are distributed quarterly. An IPI number is not required to register here.
