Music Licensing
N.A.M.E. has had over the past few years a number of conversations and meetings with executives from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This organization oversees the legal and illegal re-recording of licensed music. While these meetings and conversations have proven informative, the association feels that there is much more work to be done.
Music licensing has long been a sore subject with our industry but it may very well be a necessity in the future. Our industry is growing by leaps and bounds and it will soon become evident that licensing for professionals cannot be ignored. The association has opened up the lines of communication and fully expects to continue the hard work of negotiating with the RIAA and any other body regulating the music industry.
Any new information will be published on the association website as soon as it becomes available. Other Music Licensing resources include; ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and the US Karaoke Alliance .
