The panel will go on a journey with a startup whose product involves music. An entertainment lawyer and representatives from a music rights management company, a pass through music rights company, and a music publisher will help the startup figure out the music rights needed, various options for obtaining such rights, and troubleshoot questions regarding economics, catalog licensing and territorial considerations. The startup would tell the panelists about how they want to use music in the startup’s products and ask each panelist about how they could go about achieving those goals and how their respective companies can help. The objective would be to teach the audience about how to apply the intricacies of music licensing to a startup’s proposed products and expose the audience to some of the ways that a startup could achieve those goals.

Global music publishing is a $10 billion business, with independent music publishers capturing over a quarter of such value. The market growth has been fueled by the development of digital services, and the monetization of lyrics, stems and other music assets to a wide range of platforms has opened a new playground for music publishers.

As publishing revenues continue their upward trajectory, and the monetization of lyrics, stems and AI-generated content become an even larger source of revenue, are we prepared for any possible legal implications and copyright infringements? Can our current rights management systems support these new streams? How can we prepare for what’s next? And what steps can publishers & tech companies take to ensure a fair, lawful and ethical future?
