Research for Copyright Ownership

What Tracks Can I Use Under My Licenses?

Who Owns The Tracks That You Really Want To Use?

Crunch Digital Built The Research Tools To Solve That Problem

An Optimized Database of Ownership Rights

Crunch Digital has established relationships with major & independent record labels and music publishers covering over 85% of all U.S. music song interests, plus we have added the entire Mechanical Licensing Collective (“MLC”) database of song interests. Looking for who owns the tracks or songs that you want to use? We offer sound recording and song publisher research to identify ownership interests.

You tell us the track titles that you are looking for and Crunch Digital produces a report showing track and song availability and the total contributory share for publishers. Whether it’s 100 titles or over 1 million titles that need to be researched, we can help you. Research that could take you 5 weeks may take us less than 5 minutes to do.

Crunch Digital’s sound recording and song publisher research reports are an invaluable road map to help you know who you need to contact for record label and music publisher licenses. If you already have licenses we can also let you know the tracks and songs that are available for you to use!
