[Fmpro] Getty Images Launches Music Licensing Service

[Mark Northam]

That brings up some interesting questions...

1. What does (did) Pump Audio "own"? Do they own copyright to the music in
their library? If so, is it a derivative copyright?

2. If PA does not actually own copyright, but only have a license to resell
musical works owned by others, what actually was "sold" in the transaction
with Getty Images? Rights to sell something they don't own, or something
more?

3. If a composer pulls a work from the PA catalog, what rights does that
leave PA with and for how long?

4. Do PA composers with catalog get to see all actual amounts paid by
customers who license musical works?

Best,

Mark Northam
