Why do we offer this service to label and online music retailers?

In the United States, record labels and in many instance online music retailers are required to license, account, and pay publishers for physical pressings and digital sales. Unlike much of the rest of the world, the online music retailers are not required to clear these publishing rights. Furthermore, a company must be US-based to affiliate with Harry Fox Agency (HFA), as well as maintain constant communication with non-HFA publishers to ensure seamless transactions. Effective in-house licensing solutions require extensive employee-hours and operating cost, while inefficient practices incur substantial liability and can lead to costly litigation.
