RightsFlow

RightsFlow is a leading technology-enabled provider of mechanical licensing and royalty accounting, reporting, and payment services for online music companies, record companies, distributors, artists, and songwriters. The RightsFlow technology powers rapid song identification and provides an unprecedented level of transparency for both licensees and licensors.

RightsFlow specializes in obtaining bulk physical, DPD, and ringtone licenses including streaming, tethered, and limited download rights. Our proprietary licensing technology and 30+ million song database allow us to license content, render accounting, and pay royalties on behalf of clients quickly and accurately, ensuring that rights-holders are paid for the use of their work.

RightsFlow was acquired by Google in 2011 and is now part of the team at YouTube helping to simplify music licensing, content identification, accounting and payments for songwriters and publishers worldwide.
