Unerfasste Lizenzgebühren aus nicht gemeldeten Samples

Definition

APRA AMCOS and ARIA distribute royalties based on accurate work and recording registrations, including the identification of all contributors and rights holders.[4][9] Where sample use is not properly cleared and registered—e.g. missing writer splits, unlinked ISRCs for remixes or sample‑based works—the organisations either cannot pay the correct parties or pay to defaults, leading to under‑collection or misdirected income for labels and publishers whose material is sampled.[4][9] Sample‑based genres often have multiple underlying works embedded in one track, magnifying the impact of incomplete metadata. Over a catalogue of hundreds of titles, systematic under‑registration can amount to a persistent revenue leakage that is difficult to detect without robust rights and metadata management.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Sound recording and publishing companies in Australia 🇦🇺 lose geschätzt AUD 10,000–50,000 pro Jahr je mittelgroßem Katalog an nicht eingetriebenen oder falsch verteilten Lizenzgebühren aus Sampling-Nutzungen. Automatisierte Rechte- und Metadaten-Erfassung pro Sample erhöht die Royalty-Erträge ohne zusätzliche Marketingkosten.
