Since starting in 2011, Double Six has built up the expertise required to navigate this complex and ever changing area of the industry; understanding the size and complexity of the market, society rules and practices, qualification criteria and data requirements and has put the necessary systems and processes in place to manage this.
Globally these rights exist in just over 60 countries. We work directly in around 50 of those to maximise revenues at source and work with renowned local companies on the ground or through active reciprocal society arrangements in territories where it is currently not possible to join directly. Our direct coverage is over 93% of the global NR market.
Our team researches and compiles complete discographies for performer and producer clients using various authoritative data sources and ingests label catalogues in a variety of flexible formats and API's on a regular basis. Catalogues are optimised up front to ensure compliance across all societies minimising any issues down the line
We claim recordings and performances and ensure repertoire is registered directly with local societies at the point of release, adhering to all local requirements and in line with distribution dates to maximise income. For performers this can also include claiming for producer credits and multiple roles in applicable territories for additional income
Proactively work with society contacts, international labels and other companies around the world to ensure disputes are resolved as quickly and effectively as possibly ahead of distribution dates
Use airplay reports from a variety of sources to monitor repertoire usage in key markets and audit claims and revenue received
Proactively check for gaps at societies and use sophisticated systems to match society played recordings and unclaimed recordings lists and collect unclaimed income across all possible periods. Society limitation periods vary by territory but are most commonly 3-5 years.
Provide statements each quarter with track, source, and country information so that you can see exactly which recordings have been used: how, where and when. All statements are available on our client portal whenever you need them
