MLC Board Chair Alisa Coleman said: \u201cCreating a single platform capable of handling a blanket mechanical license that will pay royalties to all songwriters, composers, lyricists, and music publishers is a monumental effort that has never before been undertaken in the United States. To help guide this initiative, the Board takes great pleasure in formally appointing Richard Thompson as CIO.<\/p>\n
\u201cRichard\u2019s impressive experience in building the technology behind Kobalt, as well as his past role as chair of DDEX and his participation in the international music metadata standards group for nearly a decade, make him the ideal person to drive the development of the MLC\u2019s platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
Technology company ConsenSys and mechanical licensing administrator Harry Fox Agency (HFA) will serve as the primary vendors responsible for managing the matching of digital uses to musical works, distributing mechanical royalties, and onboarding songwriters, composers, lyricists, and music publishers and their catalogs to the database. Additionally, the MLC will work closely with the DDEX to design interface(s) to access the data that will be included in the public database.<\/p>\n
