Following, 2 panels shall shed some light on the mysterious and highly profitable land of copyright exploitation.  The AAM brings you Australia’s most dynamic industry professionals with the aim of sharing how they did it, why they did it and what you can draw from their combined millions in record sales successes.
 
How to make your collection agencies work for YOU! A brief discussion.
We know you’re signed up to APRA, and of course you’ve signed your artists up with AMCOS as well, but have you made sure your label is reporting to PPCA, regularly! Quickly deepen your understanding of collection agencies and why you need to be across ALL of them.

Synchronicity: represented or direct, this is the promise land
Of course you want your represented music in movies and television, but how do you test the relevance? As a manager how do you find these opportunities, or should you be working with your publisher? When do you know to take a licensed deal? Where you should be collecting, locally, or through your Australian representation?

Majors & Copyright, not just about records
Like every other business model in the music industry, publishing companies are rapidly developing their contracting, breadth & depth of collections, innovating methods and utilizing technology to further exploit your rights!
