With a Deal for Monitoring Music Performances
WOODLAND HILLS, CA. and LOS GATOS, CA , California — (Marketwire – June 9, 2010) — Audible Magic Corporation, the market and technology leader for digital media content identification, has inked a deal with JacWin Professional Services Limited, a systems integrator headquartered in Hong Kong, to license the company its CopySense Premier Service for monitoring music performances on terrestrial and internet radio.
JacWin is using the technology to provide services to collection societies in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China, which collect usage fees from the broadcast, public performance or other usages of copyrighted materials, and distributes them back to the content owners. The Hong Kong Recording Industry Association (HKRIA) is the first collective society to implement the service resulting from the partnership of the two companies.
“China represents a huge opportunity for our services,” says Audible Magic CEO Vance Ikezoye. “Our new partnership combines JacWin’s technical expertise and extensive experience in broadcast monitoring with Audible Magic’s deep expertise in content identification across a wide range of domains.”
CopySense identification technology makes use of Audible Magic’s extensive database, which contains more than ten million digital fingerprints of copyrighted music, movie and television content. The technology can be used in a myriad of ways to track, monitor and manage copyrighted and other digital media content.
Customers have licensed Audible Magic services deploying the technology to detect ads played on broadcast radio; to provide expanded licensing and royalty reporting solutions for broadcasters, Internet websites and other digital music users, and mobile phone applications; and to protect and monetize copyrighted content that is stored in cyber lockers or uploaded to web sites by users.
