Welcome to the Fall
newsletter for UMPG.
We are now more than
a year past our acquisition of BMG Music
Publishing and I am
proud to report that
we have successfully
completed the largest
integration in music
publishing history.
From our back office
David Renzer, Chairman & CEO, UMPG
systems, to our global
staff, to our creative rosters, our company is now functioning as a fully integrated global powerhouse.
We are particularly proud that so many of our top artists
and songwriters have agreed to renew their deals with
UMPG. Those names include some of the most successful
artists and songwriters working today, including; Mariah
Carey, Mary J Blige, Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Jack
Johnson, Dave Grohl, The All-American Rejects,
Daughtry, and many more. The confidence these major
artists are putting in UMPG is a great testament to the
strength of our executive team and our global administration systems. We also celebrate the tremendous global
success of the recent Coldplay album, Viva La Vida or
Death and All His Friends, which has reigned at the top of
the charts.
We welcome guest columnist David Israelite, President
of the NMPA, who updates us on developments related to
the U.S. CRB and other issues relevant to all songwriters
and publishers.

IN
SUPPORT
OF
FAIR
ROYALTY
RATES
U.S. Copyright Board to Decide Digital Rates This Year as Industry Shows Cooperation
By David Israelite, President and CEO of the USAs National Music Publishers Association (NMPA)
Real progress has been made
among industry groups representing different sides of the
rate setting trial before the
Copyright Royalty Board (CRB)
this year, in what has been
the most important effort in
many years on behalf of
songwriters and music publishers.
The financial livelihood of
every songwriter and music
publisher in America is at
stake as the CRB carries out
its periodic examination and
rate setting of mechanical
royalty rates for songs. This
proceeding is historic
because the Board for the
first time is setting rates for
digital as well as physical
products.
RATES
tion and good faith discussions that went into this effort
are a hopeful indication of the
potential for different parties
within the industry to work
together to the benefit of all.
The proposal represents
enormous progress, as
DiMAs opening position on
interactive streaming was
that songwriters and music
publishers should not be paid
anything, notwithstanding the
fact that many of DiMAs
members have been operating under agreements with
publishers dating back to
2001 acknowledging that
songwriters and publishers
should in fact be compensated in this manner.
No agreement was
reached on the other rates,
and NMPA, along with the
Nashville Songwriters
Association International
(NSAI) and the Songwriters
Guild of America (SGA), has
been working vigorously
since the initial hearing in
February to make the case for
fair rates.

Viva la Vida
COLDPLAY
RULE THE CHARTS
Coldplays fourth studio album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends had an
incredible debut, landing at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 album charts, and garnering a No. 1 single for the first time in the bands career on the Billboard Hot
100 with Viva la Vida. The band also charted record numbers in England, hitting
No. 1 on the U.K. album chart, while Viva la Vida hit No. 1 on the UK singles
chart.
We are thrilled that Coldplay is the first British act in thirty-five years to have the No. 1 single and
album in both the UK and the US, said Caroline Elleray, Head of A&R, UMPG UK. UMPG has believed
in the band from Day 1, and with this album, a sold-out tour, and a feature spot in an iTunes commercial, we expect the momentum to continue.
