Media Rights Licensing & Administration
SVN Noir administers and licenses media rights: publishing administration, sync licensing, catalog representation, master-use licensing, and rights administration.
It acts with authority over the rights it controls or represents, so a licensee negotiates with the party that can grant the license.
What Media Rights Covers
Publishing Administration
SVN Noir administers the publishing rights in the compositions it controls or represents.
Sync Licensing
Compositions and recordings are licensed for synchronization with visual media.
Catalog Representation
SVN Noir represents catalogs for licensing and acts on behalf of the rights holders it represents.
Master-Use Licensing
Master recordings are licensed for use in media wherever SVN Noir controls or represents the master.
Rights Administration
SVN Noir manages ownership and licensing terms across the rights it controls or represents.
Licensing Authority
SVN Noir licenses with authority over the rights it controls or represents. Licensees work with the party able to grant them.
Rights Architecture
Two sets of rights sit behind most licensed music: the composition and the master recording. When SVN Noir controls or represents them, administration and licensing run through a single point.
From that point SVN Noir administers publishing, represents catalogs, manages rights, and licenses for sync and master use.
One-Stop Clearance
Clearing a work usually takes two licenses, one for the composition and one for the master. When SVN Noir controls or represents both, the licensee clears both with SVN Noir.
