LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/05/13 — Crunch Digital, the data management and royalty reporting service, will be providing comprehensive rights management support for Fullscreen, the premier global multi-channel network on YouTube.
Following the February 14, 2013 announcement that Fullscreen had inked a deal with Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) allowing Fullscreen musicians to monetize songs they cover from UMPG-s library, Crunch Digital has been selected to manage song content data and royalty reporting under Fullscreen-s licenses with music publishers. Crunch Digital will act as Fullscreen-s central point of contact to manage the exchange of available songs between music publishers and their usage by Fullscreen.
“Crunch Digital was created to connect content creators and digital services with copyright owners,” said Keith Bernstein, founder of Crunch Digital. “Fullscreen-s agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group shows the direction we see the market heading, with multi-channel networks on YouTube creating more business opportunities with music.”
“Crunch Digital came highly recommended by music publishers and understood YouTube and Fullscreen-s music-related needs,” said George Strompolos, founder of Fullscreen. “We look forward to partnering with them to bring our network-s musicians the latest music from publishers.”
