New York, NY<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>10 March 2020<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>DDEX<\/span><\/a>, the international standards-setting organi<\/span>s<\/span>ation\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0the music industry<\/span>, has\u00a0<\/span>formally\u00a0<\/span>published<\/span>\u00a0its<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Claim Detail Message (CDM)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>standard, which can\u00a0<\/span>now be implemented by any organi<\/span>s<\/span>ation\u00a0<\/span>that already has or which takes out\u00a0<\/span>a free\u00a0<\/span>DDEX Implementation Licence<\/span><\/a>. CDM was finali<\/span>s<\/span>ed by the Digital Sales Reporting Working Group at the last DDEX plenary in\u00a0<\/span>November 2019, and<\/span>\u00a0was ratified<\/span>\u00a0by the DDEX Board in\u00a0<\/span>early February<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CDM is\u00a0<\/span>a sister standard to\u00a0<\/span>the Digital Sales Report\u00a0<\/span>Standard\u00a0<\/span>(DSR),\u00a0<\/span>in that it\u00a0<\/span>communicates\u00a0<\/span>information\u00a0<\/span>between companies in the digital music economy\u00a0<\/span>about\u00a0<\/span>claims and invoices for the use of musical works in sound recordings and music videos<\/span>, usually in response to a Digital Sales Report<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Senders<\/span>\u00a0of CDM messages<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will therefore be\u00a0<\/span>music publishers<\/span>\u00a0and musical work<\/span>\u00a0rights societies<\/span>\u00a0and receivers will be distributors and digital music services<\/span>, and\u00a0<\/span>any other\u00a0<\/span>entities\u00a0<\/span>involved in\u00a0<\/span>the use of compositions<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>A number of companies have already indicated that they are planning to implement\u00a0<\/span>aspects of\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>CDM\u00a0<\/span>standard including Apple, BMAT<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0ICE Services,\u00a0<\/span>SACEM<\/span>, Spotify,\u00a0<\/span>SUISA\u00a0<\/span>and YouTube<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>This is the first\u00a0<\/span>time a\u00a0<\/span>global standard for\u00a0<\/span>exchanging information about claims in\u00a0<\/span>compositions<\/span>\u00a0has been created<\/span>. We looked at what was best in\u00a0<\/span>the various\u00a0<\/span>regional and\u00a0<\/span>proprietary\u00a0<\/span>message\u00a0<\/span>formats already being used\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>then aimed to keep<\/span>\u00a0the design very simple<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0so it will be as straightforward as possible to implement,<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Laurent Lemasson<\/span>, Head of International Technical Projects at SACEM and co-chair of the DSR Working Group.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAt the same time, we consolidated what had previously been sent in multiple files\u00a0<\/span>from a DSP\u00a0<\/span>into a single<\/span>\u00a0standardized format<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span>multiple sales types<\/span>\u00a0with different royalty calculations<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 download<\/span>s<\/span>, ad-supported strea<\/span>ms, subscription streams, student offers, and more \u2013\u00a0<\/span>across\u00a0<\/span>different territories,\u00a0<\/span>thus<\/span>\u00a0reducing the volume of processing considerably<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>which<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>accelerates<\/span>\u00a0reconciliation and ultimately payments<\/span>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAdding CDM is the essential, final piece to support the full supply chain between digital service providers (DSPs) and the licensing community to report and pay royalties on the billions of songs people listen to every day all around the world,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>Mark Isherwood, who leads the DDEX Secretariat<\/span>. \u201c<\/span>The information contained in the CDM always ties back to a single<\/span>\u00a0sales transaction ID<\/span>, originally created by the DSP,<\/span>\u00a0for each and every one of those uses\u00a0<\/span>which allows\u00a0<\/span>the workflow between the parties\u00a0<\/span>to be\u00a0<\/span>more fluid and\u00a0<\/span>transparent<\/span>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are six\u00a0<\/span>other\u00a0<\/span>families of DDEX standards:\u00a0<\/span>They cover\u00a0<\/span>Release Deliver<\/span>ies,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Media Enrichment and Description<\/span>, Works Notification and Licensing, Music Licensing Companies\u2019 Communication, Linking Works and Recordings, and Collection of Studio Metadata. The use of standard message<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0speeds up the exchange of information and increases the accuracy of data, improving efficiency along the digital value chain and streamlining content available through digital service providers to consumers. All the major digital players \u2014 including digital retailers, digital distributors and aggregators, record companies, music licensing companies, music publishers, musical work rights societies, and various technical service providers \u2014 use DDEX standards with over 5,<\/span>5<\/span>00 implementation licen<\/span>c<\/span>es issued and growing daily. While anyone can implement a standard, only DDEX members can be part of the standard development process \u2013 more information on membership online\u00a0<\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About DDEX<\/span><\/b>
\nFormed in 2006, DDEX is an international standards-setting organization made up of leading media companies, music licensing organizations, digital service providers, and technical intermediaries that is dedicated to improving the exchange of data and information across the music industry. To support the automated exchange of information along the digital value chain, DDEX has standardized the format in which information is represented in messages and the method by which the messages are exchanged between business partners. These standards help rights holders, retailers, and technical intermediaries to more effectively communicate information along the digital supply chain. This leads to efficient business transactions, reduced costs, and increased revenues for all sectors involved. DDEX standards are developed and made available for industry-wide implementation.
