[NewMusic] More on music licensing

[Phillip Greenlief]

Dear bListers,

On the recent subject of music licensing....


(New York, N.Y.) The Harry Fox Agency (HFA), which represents licensing
interests fr 35,000 music publishers, announced that it has partnered
with 
Audible Magic, a provider of digital fingerprinting and copyright
tracking services, on a service that will identify music within
user-generated content. The 
combination of Audible Magic's ability to identify sound recordings  and
HFA's 
capacity to identify compositions within those recordings will
facilitate 
licensing of music for all types of user-supplied content distributors,
the 
companies said. "The results of this collaboration will be a
breakthrough for all 
kinds of online consumer-generated content services to  license properly
the 
material on their systems," said HFA president and CEO Gary Churgin.
Audible 
Magic is also providing its copyright identification and filtering
technology 
to media distributors including YouTube and MySpace.
