UPDATE: Songview is Expanding with Information from GMR & SESAC Repertories
The four major U.S. PROs, ASCAP, BMI, GMR and SESAC, are collaborating to provide a single source of detailed public performance copyright information for over 38 million musical works, offering even more transparency for the industry.
Developed by ASCAP and BMI, Songview provides music users with the first comprehensive, reliable and consistent data on songwriters, composers, music publishers and copyright ownership shares for the vast majority of songs licensed in the United States.
HOW IT WORKS
This innovative system ingests song ownership information from each PRO, processes and reconciles that information based on agreed-upon rules, and then sends the reconciled data back out to BMI and ASCAP’s public, searchable databases.
