By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 17 June 2020
The latest CMU Trends ten step guide puts the spotlight on collective licensing, explaining in the ins and outs of the music industry’s collecting societies.
It looks at when and why the music industry employs the collective licensing system, the role different collecting societies play, and what that all means for record labels, music publishers, artists and songwriters.
It also discusses how collective licensing works on a global basis, and reviews some of the issues with this licensing approach, and criticisms that are often made of the many collecting societies around the world.
