Petition to participate

Global Music Rights, LLC (“GMR”) represents many of today’s most popular music creators in the public performance licensing of their musical compositions. Founded in 2013 as the first Performing Rights Organization (“PRO”) in the United States in nearly 75 years, GMR quickly became a “fourth contender in the performance rights arena, with an impressive client list roster.” See U.S. Copyright Office, Copyright and the Music Marketplace, at 150 (2015), available at https://copyright.gov/docs/musiclicensingstudy/copyright-and-the-music-marketplace.pdf. GMR, and its affiliated songwriters, composers, and music publishers, anticipate they will have joint claims for works publicly performed under the section 111 cable statutory license, the royalty rates and terms of which will be determined by this proceeding for the period of 2025-2029. Thus, GMR, and its affiliated songwriters, composers, and music publishers, have a significant interest in this proceeding.
