Manage episode 484295591 series 3625783
In a world where billions of songs compete for attention, one company is ensuring every creator gets paid what they’re owed.
Hans Peter Roth shares how he transformed Muserk from a microsync licensing side project into the leading U.S. rights administrator, claiming an unexpected \$500K from YouTube in 2017 and growing to manage over 20 million works today.
He explains why U.S. mechanical royalties are a tangle all their own, how strategic pivots and industry partnerships drive growth, and why markets in Africa and APAC hold massive untapped potential. Plus, discover the metadata challenges of AI-generated “ghost” tracks and the role of standards like DDEX in cleaning up the data chaos.
In this episode, learn about a clear, factual look at the infrastructure that powers a fairer, more transparent music industry.
