Universal Music Group’s deal to buy Downtown Music Holdings, including major distributors FUGA and CD Baby, prompted a wave of questions and concerns from the independent community, one of which was UMG’s potential access to data covering a significant percentage of the global streaming market.

In this webinar, Reverb Data Founder and Managing Director, Andy Blair, will guide viewers on how streaming data flows from artists through labels, distributors, DSPs, and back, exploring data rights and legal issues at each step in the process. In particular, we will review legal and contract strategies designed to build transparency and trust throughout the indie ecosystem.
