Independent Joining of Forces: Labels & Publishers

#sxsw #joinforces

An in depth look at the recent trend in the independent world of the joining of forces, and how the independent label or publisher is expanding its reach to include the other. How important is ownership in the digital era, and does it really impact the various revenue streams as much as one would assume? Does owning both your masters and copyrights really lead to more licensing opportunities for your artists? In what ways does the independent label and publisher benefit from controlling both sides, and how does this directly affect the songwriters?
