IMPEL and IMPF Publish Generative AI Framework
IMPEL and IMPF have published a joint generative artificial intelligence licensing framework demanding that compositions are not treated secondarily to recordings.
On September 30, IMPEL and IMPF published a joint licensing framework for generative artificial intelligence. IMPEL is a London-based licensing agency that represents the digital rights of independent music publishers. IMPF is a Brussels-based independent music publishers organization that states it advocates for more than 300 companies around the world. The main demand of their licensing framework is that the composition is not kept behind or placed in a secondary position to the recording.
In connection with these efforts, IMPEL and IMPF are carrying out pilot studies with three separate companies in order to evaluate attribution technologies. The NMPA announced an industry-wide AI licensing deal with the company Udio approximately four months ago. Additionally, Warner Music Group reached an agreement one month ago to acquire the company Sureel.
The market standing of independent publishers was also outlined in an IMPF report. According to the report, independent publishers received 26.3 percent of global publishing revenues in 2024. This market measurement excludes BMG and Kobalt, which both hold a market share of more than 5 percent.
