Business News Digital Education & Events Labels & Publishers The Great Escape 2015
More names confirmed for licensing strand at The Great Escape
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 April 2015
As The Great Escape appears ever more clearly on the horizon, today we’ve published more information on another of the full-day CMU Insights conference strands that will sit at the heart of the Great Escape Convention this year.
CMU Insights will present four one-day strands this May, including one called Music Licensing: Explained At Last! presented in association with PRS For Music and PPL. This strand will provide a concise and wide-ranging guide to music copyright, how the different music rights make money, and how different digital services are licensed. If you own or create copyright, work for a creator or rights owner, or license music for a digital or media platform, this strand will answer a lot of questions and queries.
Kicking things off will be a guide to how the different music rights revenue streams are performing in 2015. Alex Jacob from IFPI will guide us through the label group’s global record industry stats. Camilla Waite from PPL will explore the growth of neighbouring rights income and the increased importance of SoundExchange in the US. And Chris Carey from Media Insight Consulting will shed light on CISAC’s data on music publishing worldwide.
CMU Business Editor Chris Cooke will then explain how streaming services are licensed, including the different elements of the labels’ deals with platforms like Spotify, and how the music publishers are licensing streaming set-ups through a combination of collective and direct licenses. And then, giving more in-depth explanations on the intricacies of digital licensing, we’ll hear from Ben McEwen, Head Of Online at PRS For Music; Eric Mackay, Head Of Digital For Europe at Warner/Chappell; Lee Morrison, General Manager UK at Believe Digital; and Tom Frederickse, Partner at Clintons.
And, of course, as previously reported, another key component of Music Licensing: Explained At Last! will be the big digital pie debate, looking at how streaming income is split between different stakeholders: ie labels, publishers, artists and songwriters. Amongst the people set to take part in that debate are IP consultant Amanda Harcourt, the MMF’s Andy Edwards, MCPS/IMPEL’s Jane Dyball, the MU’s Horace Trubridge, Cooking Vinyl’s Rob Collins, MPA’s Sarah Osborn and BASCA’s Vick Bain.
