V360 Publishing — Work Hub
The song side — compositions, writers, splits, PROs.

First — the two-channel rule
Recording money and song money are structurally separate, and both have to work.
Recording (master) → PPL + SoundExchange → collected by the label / V360 Audio.
Composition (song) → PRS + MCPS → collected by the writers and their publisher.
Either being broken means money lost. This hub is the second one — the side that has been quietly broken the longest.
The Westbury situation — Dave's publishing
The canonical "we'll sort it later" problem, running for ~30 years. Subject 13 Music has been administered by Westbury Music for about three decades. No contract is held by V360 or Dave. No money has been received in many years. No new registrations have been made. That is unresolved publishing quietly costing income every year it stays unresolved.
JR's strategic frame — a deliberate hold, not neglect. Re-engage when the R&S release lights Dave's name back up (summer 2026), so we approach from strength with current activity behind us rather than as a dormant back-catalogue enquiry. That window is now open — worth deciding whether to move.
The path, in order:
1
Albert pulls the PRS records — the only way to reconstruct what was actually agreed and what's registered. Dave's PRS number is with JR
2
Reconstruct the deal from those records — term, territory, scope, whether it ever expired.
3
Solomon maps the registration gaps — which works are registered, which aren't, which territories are uncovered.
4
Decide the forward structure — what V360 Publishing takes on vs what stays where.
5
Re-engage via Caroline Robertson, not Jon Handle. The founder relationship with Dave is the route that has actually held; the Handle channel has gone dead twice.
Live composition work
Hard rule — splits in writing, always, before registration. Studio handshakes on splits are the single biggest source of catalogue disputes years later. No work gets registered on a verbal agreement. ISWCs are issued automatically by PRS on registration — log each one back against its matching ISRC.
Memberships & territorial coverage
Coverage = territory. Map the gaps quarterly; each society has its own registration logic.
PRS AI policy (Oct 2025): AI-generated is NOT registrable. AI-assisted IS registrable with mandatory declaration. Auroliminal sits in the assisted lane — declare per track. Subject 13 and Vibez are AI-free, so their declaration is simply "none".
