Cannes, France, January 17, 2009 – La Cupula Music, the first Spanish-speaking independent digital music distributor, and RightsFlow, a provider of licensing and royalty services, announced today that La Cupula Music will utilize RightsFlow’s Outsourced Music Licensing system (“FLOW”) to handle DPD licensing for La Cupula Music and its distributed label clients.

“This partnership with RightsFlow provides a key service for our clients selling in the United States,” stated Maarten van Wijck, CEO of La Cupula Music. “Through RightsFlow’s systems, we are able to cost effectively obtain bulk DPD licenses for US distributions, allowing labels to clear licenses quickly and easily and enabling the sale of more content.”
“RightsFlow is very happy to announce this partnership,” stated Duncan Hutchison, Chief Content Officer of RightsFlow. “We are excited to be able to provide a one-stop solution for DPD licensing of La Cupula’s incredible content.”

Under U.S. Copyright Law, mechanical licenses are required for music to be distributed through online music services. The current U.S. statutory mechanical rate for permanent downloads is 9.1¢ for songs five minutes or less and 1.75¢ per minute for songs over five minutes. RightsFlow’s outsourced licensing service utilizes the bulk licensing system of The Harry Fox Agency, Inc. (HFA), a leading U.S. music rights licensing organization, to ensure publishers and songwriters are properly compensated under U.S. law.
