WIN supports independent music trade associations and their members navigate the complex and ever-changing world of international performance rights management.
WIN Performance Rights Initiative was launched in 2012. Led by the WIN Secretariat together with a focus group of member record company experts, it provides assistance to independent music trade associations and their members.
RDx launched in 2020 with 4 leading Music Licensing Companies (PPL, SENA, Re:Sound and Gramex Finland) and 4 independent and major record companies using the service.
AGEDI, SCF and GVL have joined in 2021, and a growing number of MLCs and right holders are preparing to join RDx through 2022.
For full information, terms, and how to join, visit rdx-portal.org.
WIN brings the independents’ perspective to various working groups to ensure standards are developed in harmony with the sector’s needs, in particular with the Recording Data and Rights (DDEX RDR).
