my favorite part of this is that because the CRB rules change every 5 years there's an even narrower window in which there's an accessible AND correct canonical resource on digital music copyright

"Rates are currently set at 9.1 cents per composition or 1.75 cents per minute, whichever is longer."
"Rates are currently set at 9.1 cents for compositions of up to 5 minutes, or 1.75 cents per minute if longer" ? -
yep typo
-
The 5 minute rule was the previous 5 years, the "whichever is more" is the new rule

Pretty good! But one important mistake: the PROs (ASCAP/BMI/SESAC) don’t license sound recording rights; they license public performance rights for *compositions*. And Spotify needs and gets PRO licenses for performances of the compositions.
-
I don't say that they do
-
There’s this line: “Just like BMI and ASCAP are more or less the only game in town for compulsory licenses for recording artists.” ACSCAP and BMI represent songwriters. It’s correct above that though so I’m guessing it’s a typo.
-
Yep, that's a typo! fixing
-
Looks like you caught the typo in first screencap below, as well - TY! Second one here worth a look? Thinking the antiquated requirement for physical, written notice - in the current day and age - might escape *most* songwriters today, not *zero*?pic.twitter.com/ye2CeyfSub

I ran product management for AOL music briefly in ‘01. We were suing ourselves, which I didn’t know was possible. So I have the bone fides to say - This is a Great Explainer!
-
How *is* that possible? Genuinely curious.
-
Merger of AOL and TimeWarner had Warner music party to litigating against http://spinner.com , which aol has previously acquired. Hilarity ensues.
-
Heh, interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Great article. I tried teaching myself how music licensing worked once to try to listen to Digimon music. Ended up with an email from Disney music licensing where they'd left in their internal replies of "This person mixed up mechanical and phonographic".

There’s an argument that Spotify et al are blowing it by not paying artists nearly enough. Netflix, HBO, and all the video games are highly profitable and pay artists enough to negotiate exclusive licenses

My god, Sarah, this is a work of great beauty and unholy horror. I weep for what sanity you have left.
