AIM focuses on digital

The MCPS-PRS Alliance team attended the Association of Independent Music's (AIM) Connected digital music convention yesterday to demonstrate how we are proactively licensing writer and publisher copyrights for online.
 
The convention also heard how the independent labels sector is gearing up for online by pressing ahead with its digital licensing project, Merlin. CEO of the new agency, Charles Caldas, who officially starts in the job next week, told a packed room at the Camden Centre in King’s Cross that  Merlin will ensure the independent  labels  sector gets  'recompense' for the copyrights it owns on existing and new  digital  services.
