Royalty Revolution: Speeding Up Songwriter Payments
Description:
Songwriters know firsthand just how broken the global royalty payments system is. Receiving royalties from streaming services can take months and in some cases years. The question is, with everything happening digitally, there’s no reason it should take that long. Legacy institutions have a vested interest in keeping the royalty payment system in the dark ages. This panel will explore just what is holding up progress and lay out alternative visions for songwriter payments systems.
