Core Rights Creating Digital Marketplace for Licensing in Canada

Nashville-based Core Rights has partnered with SOCAN and Re:Sound to form Canada’s first country-wide digital marketplace for licensing music rights. Core Rights has also formed a strategic alliance with Soundstr to build out the new digital marketplace platform for music licensing. The new platform is being built on the Core Rights MLX v1.0 platform (Music Licensing eXchange), an integrated electronic marketplace where digital agents representing business owners, rights holders, and music suppliers meet to create the greatest value for all participants and create a one-stop shop for customers.

“We are so excited to be creating the first truly electronic marketplace for music licensing along with music industry powerhouses, SOCAN and Re:Sound,” Jim King, CEO and Founder of Core Rights, LLC. “Working together we will deliver to the Canadian music industry both a more efficient one-stop digital marketplace for music licensing and using our patent-pending analytics and lead generation services provide much greater penetration into the Canadian business environment.”

Core Rights creates digital marketplaces that power licensing needs across countries and markets, managing e-commerce, transactions, and digital contracts, and integrating into existing Performing Rights Organizations and other rights management functions. The company was formed in late 2015, by Jim King, previously an executive with BMI where he was responsible for Business Operations and Technology.
