MMF-US Webinar: The Hidden Impact of Bundling - Why Alternative Financing Could Preserve Your Catalog’s Value

As of March 2024, Spotify began bundling audiobooks into its offerings for subscribers, leading to other streaming services like Amazon Music following suit. Consequently, these companies started paying music publishers and songwriters a discounted royalty rate to accommodate this new addition to premium subscriptions. If left as is, the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) projects that by 2032, music publishers risk losing over $3.1 billion from these bundling strategies - which begs the question: What does this mean for the value of a catalog?

In this informative virtual session, Alex Heiche, Founder & CEO of the music industry's largest financing firm, Sound Royalties, will break down the impact of bunding on catalog valuations/sales, how leveraging royalty financing can preserve your copyrights and catalog’s worth, and what the future has in store for this important development in streaming.
