In the wake of last year's historic agreement between the **NMPA** and **YouTube,** the streaming video giant has now [reached terms with major publishers](https://www.hypebot.com/youtube-reaches-deals-with-major-music-publishers-promises-expanded-content-payments/) to further monetize user-generated content featuring songs represented by those publishers. In theory, music by artists like **Iggy Pop** (BMG Rights Management) could now be available for hobby videographers to include in their works without infringement concerns.

**MORE:**

- **Clear Channel** has [signed a deal with Big Machine Label Group](https://www.hypebot.com/gorundbreaking-clear-channel-big-machine-deal-pays-first-ever-artist-performance-royalties/) – home of **Taylor Swift** – to pay artist royalties (on the masters side) from terrestrial radio for the first time. Unlike publishers who collect performance royalties when their songs are spun on-air, labels and artists (on the masters side) have missed out to this point.
- At the same time, Internet radio powerhouse **[Pandora is lobbying Washington for lower royalty rates](http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-pandora-lobbying-royalties-20120605,0,5983319.story?ref=hypebot.com)** for online streaming. The company is seeking equality with other forms of radio in terms of payouts.
- **SoundExchange,** who collect artist royalties from satellite and internet radio, has [added 5 new territories](https://www.hypebot.com/soundexchange-expands-overseas-ties-drops-all-foreign-administrative-fees/) to its international collection network.
- **ASCAP** has inked a deal with Television Music License Committee (TMLC) for local U.S. television stations [utilize its repertoire](http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/publishing/ascap-inks-tv-licensing-deal-through-2016-1007255752.story?ref=hypebot.com) for licensing purposes through 2016.
- I**magem Music USA** has [entered into a joint venture](http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/publishing/publishing-briefs-imagem-partners-with-cutcraft-1007238752.story?ref=hypebot.com) with the **Cutcraft Music Group**, which in turn has signed publishing deals with upcoming artists Chet Faker (Downtown Records).
