SOUNDEXCHANGE — SoundExchange was pleased with the decision of the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) on the Determination of Rates for non-interactive webcasting services for the period 2011-2015. The rates announced Tuesday will serve as the ‘default’ royalty paid for the use of sound recordings in webcasts.   Although the CRB did not adopt all aspects of SoundExchange’s proposal, SoundExchange was encouraged to see the Board once again uphold and defend the value of those recordings through gradual rate increases during the next term.  As the nonprofit performance rights organization responsible for collecting and distributing digital performance royalties to recording artists and copyright holders, SoundExchange appeared before the Copyright Royalty Board earlier this year on behalf of the thousands of royalty recipients the group represents.
