“The addition of Warner Chappell’s catalog of songs and compositions means we have even more great music readily available on our platform for our sports, while the addition of the FIG and ISU will enable Warner Chappell to join all our publisher and label partners in accessing additional sources of revenue,” Epp continues.
“Collectively, these deals represent significant progress in our mission to build a frictionless relationship between the music industry and choreographed performance sports, and ultimately ensure that creators and rights holders are properly rewarded for the use of their work with an additional, sustainable income stream.”
“We know that athletes use our songwriters’ music to inspire them as they perform. This partnership with ClicknClear will make it easier to ensure our writers are appropriately remunerated for their work wherever it is used around the world and reduce cases of copyright infringement in sport,” adds Daniel Lang, VP, International Digital Licensing and Society Relations at Warner Chappell.
Over 1,000 publishers and labels use ClicknClear’s platform, including Universal Music Publishing, Sony Music, Warner Music, BMG, Kobalt, Concord, Downtown, and hundreds more. The platform’s proprietary technology currently manages over 26 million music rights.
