Internet Music & Mobile Entertainment

BMI licenses certain Internet sites and is seeking to license many more. In addition, BMI has licenses with most major mobile entertainment (ringtone) providers. As these are very new mediums for licensing and distribution, policies still are being established as to how performances are to be tabulated and royalties are to be distributed. To the extent that music usage information has been submitted to us, we have distributed and will continue to distribute royalties for performances of your music over the Internet on sites licensed by BMI and for performances of your music made available by licensed mobile entertainment providers. However, due to the nature of these services and the systems that we or they may employ to track the use of your music, the number of performances listed on your royalty statement may not reflect the actual number of performances. For further developments in this area, please contact your local Writer/Publisher Relations office.
