Custom Channels is set up to handle all the Retail and Webcast Royalties (RIAA/SoundExchange or "CARP") fees, including the new fee structure established by the Copyright Royalty Board. We stay on top of the latest royalty rules, regulations and fees so you don't have to.

Custom Channels are DMCA-compliant and all music licensing fees and reporting is included when your channel is launched through www.customchannels.net which maintains webcast licenses for both sound recording and the musical composition performance rights from the various licensing organizations.

 

As you may know, in May of 2007, a Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) decision increased the fees that must be paid when music is webcast over the internet for the period 2006-2010. Our current rates reflect the additional costs of these royalty rates for Custom Channels.

Since then, a coalition of large and small webcasters, broadcasters, musicians and others - including SBR Custom Channels - is continuing to press for relief from the new rates, either through appeal, direct negotiation with SoundExchange, or congressional action.

As a Custom Channels client, you can be assured that if the royality rates are reduced by these efforts, that we will reduce our rates accordingly and will credit your account the difference between amounts paid on your behalf and those actually owed under any reduced rate scheme. Some restrictions apply. Contact us for all of the details.
