Music Biz 2023

Rights management and proper payouts to content owners for music streaming continue to vex the industry. There is consensus that metadata is at the heart of the solution, but the segmentation of publishing data and recording data makes this particularly challenging for songwriter royalties. How do we evolve the data ecosystem for the greatest success, ensuring fast, accurate payments to songwriters and publishers? This panel will present the challenges and opportunities from the perspective of a music publisher, a collection society, a social media company and a metadata provider. We will explore the progress being made, the most pressing challenges ahead, as well as promising opportunities on the horizon.

This panel is part of the Metadata Summit,
