Music industry Innovator Scott Cohen & A2IM CEO Ian Harrison in Conversation: The Royalty Should Be the Floor, Not the Ceiling

Royalties have long defined how artists, songwriters and rightsholders participate in the economics of music. But they represent only one part of the financial value music creates. Who captures the rest — and should creators and rightsholders have a greater stake in it?

Music industry innovator Scott Cohen and A2IM CEO, Ian Harrison, examine where today’s music economy falls short, what that means from the creator’s perspective and why traditional royalty structures may no longer adequately reflect the full value music generates. Scott and Ian will put forward discuss a pioneering new model designed to move beyond royalties alone — and explore how artists, songwriters and rightsholders can participate more fully in the value their work creates.

Join us for a provocative conversation about ownership, participation and building a music economy that finally gives creators a greater stake in the success they make possible.
