Registration of the copyrights (songwriting/publishing/works) is the responsibility of the copyright holders (publishers and songwriters etc.). AWAL deals with the intellectual property which makes up the recordings (phonograph/masters), which is separate from this.
Where AWAL is responsible for mechanical administration we will register and report recording catalog and corresponding sales, but this is not the same as the registrations that publishers perform - AWAL registrations detail the products we release, but these registrations need to link to registrations in place at PROs on the copyright side to complete the circle.
