🎶 Do you value music? 🎶 Then you might agree it is time to right the wrong in the music industry. Did you know that; - an artist receive a merger $0.00318 per stream in royalties from Spotify to be split between brand members, the producer and the label? - additionally musicians could be missing out on an estimated $2.65bn a year, due to small businesses playing personal music services out loud (only licensed for personal use), rather than applying for a commercial license. If we continue to undervalue music and the artists who create it, we risk losing the soundtrack to our lives. For further information and sources, please see below link. At 1000trax we value our artists, guaranteeing that they earn more in just two days of recording than they would through a million streams on Spotify.

Hey GPT-3,5, explain why businesses can not use Spotify or Apple Music to play background music in their establishments. Using Spotify or Apple Music for playing background music in commercial establishments violates the terms of service of these platforms. Both Spotify and Apple Music are designed for personal, non-commercial use, and their terms of service typically prohibit using their services for public performance or commercial purposes without obtaining the appropriate licensing or subscription. If a business uses a personal Spotify or Apple Music account to play music in a public setting without the proper licensing, it could be considered copyright infringement, which can lead to legal consequences and potential fines. To ensure compliance with copyright laws and licensing requirements, businesses are encouraged to use dedicated background music services that offer licenses specifically for commercial use. These services often provide curated playlists and options for customizing the music to suit the ambiance of the establishment, while also taking care of the necessary licensing arrangements.

Today I want to take a moment to celebrate a major milestone in the tech world – the anniversary of Napster, the revolutionary file-sharing service that changed the music industry forever. On June 1, 1999, Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker launched Napster, making it incredibly easy for people to share and download MP3 music files. Napster quickly became a sensation, especially among college students, offering a new way to access music that was never seen before. It didn’t take long for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to take notice. Just over six months later, on December 7, 1999, the RIAA filed a lawsuit against Napster for mass copyright infringement. Despite the legal battles that ensued, culminating in the company's shut-down on September 3, 2002, Napster left an indelible mark on the digital landscape. The impact of Napster goes beyond just music sharing; it highlights the power and potential of the Internet to disrupt traditional business models. It also paved the way for the digital music revolution we see today, influencing services like iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming platforms. For business owners, Napster's story is a reminder of how innovation can drive massive shifts in consumer behavior and industry practices. It underscores the importance of staying adaptable and forward-thinking in a rapidly evolving digital world. Cheers to Napster, the little service that rocked the music world and taught us valuable lessons about innovation, disruption, and the power of the internet.
Great news for songwriters! The Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) has discovered that Digital Service Providers (DSPs) like Spotify may have been underreporting usage data, potentially resulting in mechanical royalties not being properly paid out to songwriters. It's always encouraging to see organizations taking steps towards ensuring fair compensation for creators. #songwriters #musicindustry #royalties
🎶Exercising a key right granted by the Music Modernization Act, The Mechanical Licensing Collective issues notices of intent to preserve its right to audit digital services. https://lnkd.in/g-4MewQ4 Music Business Worldwide (MBW) “Ensuring DSPs have reported royalties accurately is one of The MLC’s statutory responsibilities under the MMA,” says Kris Ahrend, Chief Executive Officer of The MLC. “The MLC’s audit right is a first in the 115-year history of the U.S. compulsory mechanical license and provides enhanced protection for songwriters and music publishers. The audit notices filed by The MLC mark the beginning of its fulfillment of this important function,” says Alisa Coleman, Chair of the Board of Directors of The MLC. The MLC will update Members on the results of any DSP audits The MLC conducts and will clearly identify any monies recovered in audits on the royalty statements it provides to Members.

Music Licensing: How IPRS makes sure music creators get paid. As a copyright manager, I constantly come across questions about music licensing, especially for public performances. Here, the Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) plays a vital role in educating music users and ensuring creators are fairly compensated. Imagine you run a cafe that plays music for your customers. You've carefully curated a playlist, but have you considered the licensing requirements? IPRS acts as a bridge between music users like you and the songwriters, composers, and publishers behind the music. IPRS 101: Educating for Fair usage and remuneration for your music. IPRS offers a wealth of resources to make music licensing clear and accessible. The IPRS website / Instagram page (@iprsmusic) features informative articles and explainer videos like Decoding Music Licensing in Public Performance of Music. They even have an initiative called "#AskMeAnything" where leading IP lawyers address common licensing questions. How Performance Royalties Flow? When you obtain a music license from IPRS, you're ensuring a portion of THE SHOW INCOME goes towards performance royalties by the organisers and NOT THE ARTISTS. IPRS collects this and distributes it to the rightful rights holders based on factors like: Type of music played: Royalties may differ for Indian and international music. a. Performance duration and frequency: More frequent use typically generates higher royalties. b. Establishment type: Restaurants and pubs have different royalty structures than shopping malls. The Importance of Licensing: Obtaining a music license is not just about legal compliance; it's about recognizing the value music brings to your business and fairly compensating those who CREATE it. By leveraging IPRS's resources and acquiring the proper licenses, you can ensure your establishment enjoys a vibrant musical atmosphere while supporting the music industry. Want to Learn More? Head over to the IPRS website https://iprs.org to explore their educational resources and find the right license for your needs. Remember, a little licensing knowledge goes a long way in ensuring everyone benefits from the power of music! If not interested in trouble?
