MCSK, KAMP, PRISK Partner for a Music Licensing Platform that provides Transparency
MCSK, KAMP, PRISK have partnered to develop a music licensing platform that will enable artists and other music industry players to monitor the sales and broadcasting revenue earned through different companies selling music. The platform named NgomaLicense has been in development over the last several months following an agreement signed by the three collecting organizations. This is truly great news because it means finally the music industry has created the much needed transparency where every artists can see what each PRS/Content provider is selling in realtime. At the same time, artists can view the money they are earning from radio and tv play of their music. The platform does not leave internet downloads and streaming out either. The new joint initiative by the three bodies has been named Digital Rights Management.
The platform is already accessible online at www.ngomalicense.com and artists, producers can register. The official start off will be September 1st 2014. The platform will be free for all artists who are members of the 3 CMOs.
Some key pointers.
NgomaLicense is a platform that enables the sale and distribution of music across different mobile networks worldwide while the owner of the music is able to view real-time sales statistics from their computer. The platform creates a transparency by making it possible for Artist, Producer, Record Label, CMO and the PRS to view their individual sales and revenue percentages so that everyone has a report.
For ARTISTS – No more guess work or worries about what song is selling where. From a central point, you can view your sales by ANY PRS that is selling your music. You are able to see how much the song was sold for and what percentages are taken by who.
For a PRS (Licensees) – The NgomaLicense platform comes with songs already loaded and ready for sale so the PRS does not need to worry about content negotiation, licensing etc. Even upload of content is not a headache for the PRS. Just get a shortcode and start selling. We are working with any PRS or VAS locally and internationally.
For RECORD LABELS – use this platform to reach newer markets for distributing your content as you view sales for all your artists from a central system.
For CMOs – The NgomaLicense platform is integrated to work with KAMP,PRISK and MCSK for the purpose of reporting royalty revenues for all rights holders in a song.The CMOs are able to get reports from the system.
For TELCOS (mobile operators) – Licensing, reporting and billing for content easily handled! The NgomaLicense platform is integrated with shortcode and mobile money billing. The platform also enables any PRS to access all the content hence faster go to market – therefore more revenue for operators as well.
