What’s the Deal?: The Economics of Label and Distributor Contracts
(Panel Discussion) As digital distribution is democratized, many music distribution companies have expanded their offerings to provide services previously handled by labels. These can include everything from playlist pitching, to sync licensing, and more. However, there remain significant differences between labels and distributors, and artists must be sure to know exactly what they need before they sign a deal. In this panel, label and distribution executives will examine the economics of modern label deals vs. distribution deals, and discuss how deals are analyzed and structured so artists and their representative better understand what is driving the terms.
