Winter News Exchange Now Available

February 8th



NewsExchange Winter 2010
A Message from Our Executive Director
 

Happy New Year! 2009 was a banner year at SoundExchange, and despite the economic recession, we paid out an unprecedented $147.5 million to our registered artists and copyright owners. We even added an extra distribution in October to get money out as quickly as possible. We hope that checks from SoundExchange made 2009 a bit brighter.

In this letter, though, I have a challenge for you. read more

Outreach Spotlight

Get Played. Get Paid.

SoundExchange is a non-profit performance rights organization that collects statutory royalties from satellite radio (such as SIRIUS XM), internet radio, cable TV music channels, and similar platforms for streaming sound recordings.

The U.S. Copyright Office has entrusted SoundExchange as the sole entity in the United States to collect and distribute these digital performance royalties on behalf of featured and non-featured recording artists, master rights owners (usually record labels), and independent artists who record and own their masters.
