7digital and Pex Partner to Revolutionize Music Rights Management in the UGC Era
The digital music landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, notably with the explosion of user-generated content (UGC). Effectively managing music rights in this dynamic surroundings is a complex challenge, demanding complex solutions. That’s why 7digital, a Songtradr company and global leader in B2B digital music solutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Pex, a pioneering force in content identification and UGC data. This collaboration promises to deliver unprecedented openness,efficiency,and value to rightsholders,platforms,and brands alike.
The Challenge of Music Rights in a UGC World
For years, tracking and monetizing music usage has been a headache for rights holders. Customary methods struggle to keep pace with the sheer volume and variety of content being created and shared online. The rise of short-form video, remixes, mashups, and sped-up tracks further complicates matters. Identifying copyrighted material within these evolving formats requires a level of precision that many existing solutions simply can’t deliver. This leaves meaningful revenue on the table and opens the door to copyright infringement.
How Pex and 7digital are Changing the Game
Pex addresses this challenge head-on with its cutting-edge Automated Content Recognition (ACR) technology. Their Pex Search solution is designed to identify the most uses of copyrighted content, providing crucial data for licensing, attribution, and compliance. But a powerful search engine is only as good as the catalog it searches. That’s where 7digital comes in.
By fingerprinting 7digital’s extensive global music catalog for inclusion in the Pex music registry,we’re dramatically expanding the reach and accuracy of Pex Search. This means:
More Comprehensive Identification: Pex’s technology can now identify music even within modified audio formats – remixes, mashups, sped-up tracks, and short-form content – ensuring no usage goes unnoticed. This is a significant leap forward in identifying music within the complex world of UGC.
Real-Time Accuracy: 7digital’s cloud-based catalog ingests new releases and metadata in real time. This ensures Pex customers always have access to the most up-to-date data, and rightsholders benefit from immediate identification of their latest content. Streamlined Licensing: 7digital’s unique pass-through licensing model, specifically designed for music intelligence applications, simplifies the licensing process.Rightsholders maintain control through an opt-in process,while Pex can efficiently license music for fingerprinting without lengthy negotiations or complex agreements. This saves valuable time and resources for all parties involved.
