Songtrust's surge as a technology focused, artist centered company comes at a time of positive change for songwriters and publishers. Not only is streaming revenue driving a resurgence in the recorded music industry, but The Copyright Royalty Board recently increased streaming mechanical rates 43.8% over the next five years. The U.S. House’s unanimous vote on the Music Modernization Act and yesterday's introduction of the bill in the Senate should also lead to more good news for songwriters and rights holders on how music copyrights are treated and compensated.Songtrust also recently cut a deal with with pan-European licensing hub ICE to provide a range of ge of digital licensing and back-office royalty processing services.
