Overview

BMAT acts like the Operating System for music copyright

With the release of OS 26.9.22, BMAT is launching one connected network of data and technology. Built to simplify complexity, the new version democratises access to tech and unlocks more money latent throughout the copyright lifecycle.

The result is a system that identifies, tracks, matches, claims and distributes music rights, from play to pay.

System architecture

Simplifying the copyright lifecycle

BMAT acts like the Operating System for music rights.
It does so by:

 • simplifying complexities 
 • democratising access to tech 
 • unlocking more money latent in the copyright lifecycle.

The system actively serves CMOs, DSPs and VOD platforms, Record labels, publishers, Broadcasters, AI companies, venues, artists, and the wider creative community.

Usage layer

Creating economies of scale

In a highly intermediated and not always very efficient ecosystem, BMAT creates economies of scale.

The system keeps in sync:

 • DSR, DSP, CMS, VOD, tracking and ads
 • Charts, offline, digital, audiovisual, radio and venues
 • Rights and royalties processing
 • Usage data and fingerprinting
 • Repertoire management

Music rights workflow

From play to pay

BMAT has built a network of data & technology that:

 • Identifies
 • Tracks
 • Matches
 • Claims
 • Distributes

The workflow spans usage tracking, reporting, repertoire matching and claiming across music and audiovisual content in broadcast, streaming, VOD and UGC.

System scale

A trusted processing partner

BMAT is powering today:

 • 140 CMOs
 • 400 Rights Holders
 • 10 DSPs
 • 160 Broadcasters

Across 250 territories.

Input layer

Recordings & Works database

BMAT is fed by a highly comprehensive Recordings & Works database.

Sound Recordings Audio Database
 • 1,420 sources (Record labels, distributors and CMOs)
 • 320M Sound Recordings Audio Database

Musical Works Database
 • 130M Musical Works Database
 • 160 sources (Publishers, CMOs, CISAC tools)

Recording-to-work matching
 • 260M links between Sound Recordings and Musical Works

Processing layer

Rights and royalties 

BMAT supports €3 billion in royalties processed through our system every year. Half of that comes from DSP & VOD processing.

The system provides:

 • global coverage
 • unrivalled transparency & accuracy
 • processing in a fraction of time & cost

The reported result is an average 20–30% revenue increase.

Neutral infrastructure

Connecting rights and platforms

BMAT is a neutral technology partner that processes copyright data at scale and enables data exchange between rights holders and platforms. 

Its role remains that of a neutral, largely invisible layer capable of handling the data complexity behind the industry’s evolving deal structures.

Foundation

Built on 20 years of expertise

BMAT brings 20 years of tech excellence, business acumen & cross-industry relationships to the new operating system.

Behind it are 270 music lovers worldwide, led by experts in machine learning and copyright.
