PMLL sign agreement with LyricFind
PMLL are thrilled to confirm that we signed an agreement with LyricFind for 63 of our UK publishers. Thanks to the MPA’s support, the remaining PMLL members will be encouraged to opt in to direct licensing agreements with LyricFind, for whichever territories are not currently licensed.
The agreement brings these publishers’ catalogues into LyricFind’s global lyric licensing system, which pays rights holders for every lyric display, as well as for lyric translations and merchandise featuring lyrics. The direct relationship with key publishers is invaluable in maintaining an accurate and sustainable lyrics licensing environment while benefiting songwriters and rights holders by creating a new revenue stream from their lyrics.
“We are excited to work with these important UK publishers and songwriters in major new territories and to enable them to legally distribute, exhibit, and monetize their lyrics through our 60+ platform partners,” says Robert Singerman, SVP International Publishing at LyricFind.
“Lyrics provide a new revenue stream for the members we represent,” said PMLL General Manager Viki Smith. “Publishers need these new approaches and I look forward to supporting them as they explore the services LyricFind has to offer.”
