Neighboring Rights Platform Cactus Becomes New WIN Supporter

Cactus, an online platform providing artists, labels, and their representatives the essential tools and insights to take full control of their neighbouring rights, has joined the WIN Supporters program. The solution offers essential tools to manage repertoire, track deadlines, submit claims, and maximize revenue through advanced metadata validation and direct feeds to industry systems like RDx, the performance rights repertoire data portal for record companies and music licensing companies.

After more than a decade working closely with WIN on neighbouring rights, we’re proud to introduce Cactus to the WIN community as the world’s first end-to-end platform dedicated to neighbouring rights. WIN has been instrumental in conceiving and establishing RDx as the industry standard for rights holders and Cactus was designed specifically to help independent labels seize this opportunity.
Henry Thomas, Cactus COO and Co-Founder

Developed by SoundAct, a consultancy with over 40 years of expertise in neighboring rights, Cactus provides transparency in royalty flows and empowers rights holders with greater autonomy over their income streams. By simplifying the complexities of royalty collection and working with collecting societies worldwide, Cactus ensures that creators retain 100% of their earnings while maintaining full ownership of their rights.

WIN has been at the forefront of supporting the independent sector with the international management of performance rights through specialized working groups and initiatives like RDx. We look forward to working closely with Cactus to improve efficiencies and maximize royalty distributions from collecting societies, returning more value to independents.
Noemí Planas, WIN CEO
