Fancy learning a new music industry acronym? You know you do. So with apologies to readers in the publishing sector who’ll already know it, meet PEDL – Pan-European Digital Licensing.
We’re telling you about it because publisher Warner Chappell Music has just appointed ICE as its sole PEDL partner.
That’s an extension and expansion of their existing relationship, but means the publisher will be dropping its deals with other European digital licensing administration partners to consolidate its online processing with ICE.
The companies said that the announcement follows a 10-month review by Warner Chappell of potential alternatives, and that the new agreement will cover Europe, the Middle East, Africa and other territories.
