"Legal battle over audiobook bundling and AI-driven sync licensing service updates"
This newsletter is about the ongoing legal battle between the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) and Spotify regarding the bundling of audiobooks in its premium subscription service. The MLC is requesting the court to reconsider the dismissal of its lawsuit against Spotify, arguing that the decision has far-reaching financial consequences for the music industry. In addition, Dutch startup Ringo has launched a sync-licensing service infused with AI to streamline and automate the process of sync licensing, aiming to open up a longer tail of sync revenues for rightsholders and artists.
