Tech-driven global music rights administrator, MUSERK and SOCIETY OF AUTHORS AND COMPOSERS AND PUBLISHERS OF MUSIC (SACEM) and its mechanical rights branch, SDRM, have extended their partnership to represent their digital mechanical rights in the UNITED STATES.
SDRM/SACEM and MUSERK have been working together to collect SDRM/SACEM’s mechanical rights on YOUTUBE in the U.S. since JANUARY 2018. The extended partnership will see MUSERK managing SDRM/SACEM’s works, including parsing and ingesting works into YOUTUBE and the MLC, matching all SDRM/SACEM works to all available usage data, managing disputes, and conflicts and providing fast and transparent distribution files to SDRM/SACEM, all in formats tailored to fit SDRM/SACEM’s needs.
Founder and CEO/MUSERK PAUL GOLDMAN, “SACEM is a key player in the industry, and we are proud to continue our relationship with the organization. In this ever-growing digital landscape, it is harder than ever to track and match all works and usage. It has never been more important that we work together for the good of all creators and rights holders, and Sacem is at the forefront of that effort.”
Director/International Development, SACEM, CAROLINE CHAMPARNAUD, added, “As a not-for-profit collective management organization but also a data company with a worldwide footprint, SACEM is always looking for the most relevant and cost-effective solutions to allow its members to receive the fair remuneration of their work. We found in MUSERK a partner who understands our stakes and can extend SACEM’s reach in the UNITED STATES with quick and effective answers. MUSERK helps us leverage this value by combining their excellent technology with their top-notch copyright team, so we are pleased to extend and continue our alliance with them.”
