PRESS RELEASE
SOUNDCLOUD EMBEDS AUDIBLE MAGIC’S CONTENT ID TECHNOLOGY Leading audio platform SoundCloud has today announced a partnership with Audible
Magic, the leading global provider of digital media identification and copyright tracking
services, which will see the content identification technology used to help identify the
ownership rights of artists, record labels, and other music copyright owners.
According to both companies, the pairing of the two innovative technologies is a natural
fit. SoundCloud enables artists, labels, music professionals and other audio creators to
upload, record, promote and share sound across the web. Audible Magic offers its
patented fingerprint-based content identification technology, which detects
copyrighted works and related ownership rights through the use of its Global Registry
of more than 11 million master recordings. By utilising Audible Magic’s technology,
SoundCloud gives rights holders more control over how they make their content
available and ensuring its more than two million sound creators can share work with the
utmost security as well as ease.
“We chose Audible Magic because the company offers one of the most trusted solutions
for music copyright identification on the market today,” said Alexander Ljung, CEO and
founder of SoundCloud. “We’re committed to giving our users the best possible
platform for their sounds on the web and that includes reassuring them that anything
they create and share will remain protected and in their control.”
Audible Magic President and CEO Vance Ikezoye added: “We’re pleased to help a
company as innovative and exciting as SoundCloud, and hope we can also help its
efforts to keep the music market vital and growing.”
