SoundExchange Counsel Faces Royalty Skirmishes
SoundExchange originated as a division of the RIAA and was spun off as a separate group in 2000 to collect and distribute digital performance royalties. It's the only agency authorized to do so. Today, it represents more than 3,500 record companies and more than 6,000 labels and their artists. Michael Huppe, general counsel for SoundExchange, says music labels and artists will increasingly depend on the performance royalties SoundExchange distributes to survive.
