Even in the era of streaming, piracy remains a major problem for record labels big and small. Now, an association focused on smaller labels is taking steps to helping those labels to fight back. The Association of Independent Music, a U.K.-based industry group, announced a new member offering that would allow labels to better track both privacy and attempts at content protection.
The free tool, offered by the anti-piracy firm MUSO, makes it possible to both automatically take down unauthorized music and to track the extent of the issue using an analytics dashboard.
“This new partnership gives our rightsholder members access to a highly sophisticated anti-piracy solution, free at the point of access, and allows them oversight of their online content and piracy activity,” said AIM CEO Paul Pacifico in a news release. “Pirates steal both money and consumer data with no return for artists. This service will allow AIM members to focus on the very positive relationships between artists and their fans by cutting out the pirates and is a huge win for us all.”
