1 Maximizing Online Opportunities for Audience Engagement, Advertiser Value and Profitability NASHVILLE 2010

2 Maximizing Online Opportunities for Audience Engagement, Advertiser Value and Profitability There are many dangerous myths currently circulating that could very well get a company streaming music on the Internet into trouble. For instance, many broadcasters believe that ASCAP and BMI royalties cover them for all on-line music use. This is not true. ASCAP and BMI cover the broadcaster only for the public performance rights to the underlying music composition—the song itself—when an ASCAP or BMI song is played over-the-air. For digital transmissions—like those made on the Internet—there is an additional royalty, payable to a company called SoundExchange. This additional royalty compensates the performers of music. This royalty must be paid in addition to the fees paid to ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, and must even be paid on the Internet simulcast of a broadcaster’s over-the-air programming. ASCAP & BMI ($0) For Internet radio stations that simulcast the signal of an over-the-air broadcast station on a non-subscription basis, fees for Internet usage of the music licensed by ASCAP and BMI are covered by the current broadcast licenses. SESAC ($360+) SESAC’s Internet Performance License royalty is based on a Revenue or ATH multiplier with a minimum $360 annual fee and reporting requirements. SoundExchange (???) The royalty to SoundExchange is paid both to the owners of the copyright in the performance of a piece of recorded music and to the performers of that music. Half of the fees collected go to the performers, and half to the copyright owner in the performance (usually the record company). This royalty comes about as the result of a “compulsory license” which allows Internet broadcasters to use music without the explicit permission of the artists and copyright holder, provided that the broadcaster pays this royalty fee and complies with certain usage restrictions.
