Toward the bottom of the list of music you see " Jim Steinman".

The publishing division of EMI is up for sale, and some of Jim's music is published by them.

In a nutshell: a music publisher exploits and manages copyright. A songwriter licenses or sells the copyright on their songs to a publisher, who then collects royalties for radio play, streaming services, and licenses the material for adverts, movies, etc.
