Rights Done Right
A New and Challenging World
Copyright-based entertainment industries, from record companies to TV networks, streaming services, video games, museums, and art galleries, are among the most important industries in the world.
These industries rely on content produced by millions of creators: songwriters, music composers, film directors, painters, designers, authors, and performers, to name but a few. These creators typically turn to yet another segment of the industry to support and manage their rights - music and book publishers, television and film producers, copyright collectives, administrators and agents are among the many individuals and organisations involved.
Today, this complex business is more challenging than ever. We live in a vastly different “big and quick” entertainment world. Everything is globalized, digitized, and made available instantaneously to anyone with access to the internet. Consumers are no longer constrained by borders, cultural bubbles, or local editorial choices. They have and demand complete control.
And key entertainment sectors are booming! Music, film, and television have been able to harness the great potential of digital technologies and monetize emerging markets.
At the same time, reliance on digital growth also creates pain points for both new and established players, including the ongoing difficulties of identifying usage of content, collecting royalties from users, and ensuring that those royalties are paid to the correct rightsholders.
With content now immediately accessible, it stands to reason that rightsholders expect to be paid more quickly as well. They and their representatives need timely access to detailed data to determine what they are owed. Yet they are faced with an environment that continues to frustrate their quest for clarity and equitable treatment.
