CMU Insights returns with masterclass on the streaming business
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 29 August 2017
CMU Insights is set to provide a concise but comprehensive overview of the streaming business next month at the first event in its autumn programme of seminars and masterclasses, hosted at the London HQ of Lewis Silkin.
The masterclass ‘Digital Deals, Dollars And Trends – Explained!’ will provide an overview of the digital music market in 2017, in the UK and around the world, before explaining how streaming services like Spotify are licensed, and how royalties flow through the system.
Says CMU Business Editor Chris Cooke, who leads the masterclass: “Every week we are presented with new stats – from labels, trade bodies and digital firms – further confirming that streaming is becoming the dominant revenue stream for recorded music. Which makes it more important than ever for people to understand how the streaming business works”.
He goes on: “Digital licensing is complex, though makes sense if you walk through some copyright law, contractual conventions and deal terms first, which is what we do in this masterclass. The streaming business model is not without its controversies, and may as yet need to evolve, though you need to understand how it is working today to be part of the debate around that evolution – let alone to understand your royalties day-to-day”.
The masterclass takes place on Monday 18 Sep at 2pm – tickets are £99 including VAT and booking fees and can be bought here.
