The Royalty Network, an independent music publisher and administrator and RightsFlow, a provider of bulk mechanical licensing and royalty services, announced a new partnership granting RightsFlow a blanket license for The Royalty Network’s entire catalog.

This blanket access will allow RightsFlow to more accurately identify, account, and remit royalties on behalf of their over 9,500 label, distributor, music service and artist clients. The agreement marks a growing trend of independent music publishers engaging in new procedures to reduce administrative workload and improve efficiency.
“By entering this agreement with RightsFlow, we are assured that our songwriters, artists, publishers, and producers are accounted to by RightsFlow’s many clients for all US digital downloads, streaming income, and ringtone sales,” stated Frank Liwall, President of The Royalty Network. “We respect RightsFlow as a market leader in mechanical licensing and welcome their progressive approach to accounting to publishers.”

“We are extremely pleased to announce this new relationship,” stated Kim Gerlach, Director of Licensing at RightsFlow. “We view The Royalty Network as a forward-thinking publisher that prides itself on maximizing efficiency in representing its songwriters, publishers, and repertoire, and foresee similar open data transfers with additional publishers in the future.”
