The Harry Fox Agency represents music publishers for their mechanical and digital licensing needs. HFA issues licenses and collects and distributes royalties on behalf of their affiliated publishers (Too Lost, for example). This includes licensing for the recording and reproduction of CDs, ringtones, and Internet downloads. HFA also conducts royalty examinations, investigates and negotiates new business opportunities, and pursues piracy claims.
