Sony/ATV Wraps Up Famous
January 09, 2008 - Publishing
By Susan Butler, N.Y.Sony/ATV Music Publishing has acquired international administration rights to the Famous Music catalog from Universal Music Group, wrapping up full international control of the copyrights it acquired from Viacom last year.
Shortly after Marty Bandier became chairman/CEO of Sony/ATV last April, the publisher was the successful bidder for Viacom's Famous, one of the top indie publishers in the world. But BMG Music Publishing, acquired by Universal, held administration rights to the Famous catalog outside the United States and certain Asian territories.
With this latest acquisition, Sony/ATV will be able to actively exploit internationally the work of Famous writers including Linda Perry, Eminem, Akon, Shakira and Daniel Powter. It will also have full control over past film music from Paramount's film studios.
Top earners from the catalog have included "Mission Impossible Theme," "Moon
River" and Linda Perry's "Get the Party Started" (Pink) and "Beautiful"
(Christina Aguilera), according to confidential sale documents obtained by
Billboard before the Famous sale.Sony/ATV administrative control became effective on Jan. 1.

Michael Jackson's company denies Beatles coming to iTunes
Posted by Greg Sandoval
March 10, 2008 2:02 PM PDTThe company that owns the rights to a vast majority of The Beatles music catalog has questioned reports that the Fab Four have cut a deal with Steve Jobs.
Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the joint venture owned by Sony and singer Michael Jackson, has thrown cold water on newspaper stories out of London that The Beatles catalog would soon be available on iTunes. A spokeswoman for Sony/ATV Music Publishing told CNET News.com that the reports are "untrue."
Sony/ATV is a pretty good source. While EMI Group owns the recording rights to The Beatles catalog, Sony and Jackson own the rights to the vast majority of the catalog's publishing rights. Had a deal been cut, Sony/ATV would "absolutely be informed," the Sony/ATV spokeswoman said.
Stories about the Fab Four heading to iTunes crop up every few months, it seems, and rumors and unconfirmed reports have been circulating for years. This time, the story appeared to have legs as it was reported by three large British newspapers. They all cited unnamed sources.
Under media scrutiny, the stories began showing cracks on Sunday. One of the newspapers reported that Apple was willing to pay the Beatles about $600 million. The blog Silicon Alley Insider noted that Apple, which grosses about 33 cents for every song sale, would have to sell 1.8 billion Beatles songs to break even.
A high-level music industry source said an agreement between The Beatles and Apple could still get inked in 2008. They emphasized, however, that the British papers were wrong to say the deal was finalized.
Representatives for EMI and Apple declined to comment for the story.

Michael Jackson's company squashes rumours regarding the Beatles' availability on iTunes
By Katherine Hannaford Tech Digest - 2 hours 6 minutes ago
Michael Jackson, aka, the world's biggest spoil-sport, has apparently put his foot down over The Beatles' music being made available on iTunes in the future, with a spokeswoman for Sony/AVT Music Publishing (the company that co-owns the publishing rights with Jackson) claiming yesterday's rumours are "untrue", reinforced by an Apple representative stating "this is not news nor is it a scoop".
Claims regarding the payment Apple would shell out for the privilege of selling the British band's tracks is in the region of $600 million, with speculators adding that they'd need to sell 1.8 billion Beatles songs to break even, due to Apple pocketing 33 cents for every song sold.
No skin off our noses obviously - it just means we're back to BitTorrent if we want to download some Beatles tunes, with better bitrates, too.

SONY BMG TO FORM MUSIC PUBLISHING ARM
By BRIAN GARRITY
March 11, 2008Sony and Bertelsmann are close to a deal that could allow their Sony BMG recorded music joint venture to start signing acts to music publishing contracts, sources familiar with the situation said.
As part of the proposed pact, Sony ATV Music Publishing - Sony's separate publishing arm headed by Chairman/CEO Martin Bandier - will administer copyrights from songwriters and producers signed to Sony BMG, sources said.Sony BMG CEO Rolf Schmidt-Holtz has made no secret of his desire to start a new publishing division within the company, home to Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and Justin Timberlake. The joint venture is the only music label to not have its own dedicated music publishing arm.
Financial specifics of the deal are still being negotiated. A finalized agreement could come as soon as next month, sources said.Some of Sony BMG's labels are already talking with songwriters and producers about potential publishing deals in anticipation of the agreement's pending completion, sources familiar with the situation said.
Sony BMG did not return requests for comment. Sony ATV declined comment.Bertelsmann last year sold its separate music publishing arm, BMG Music Publishing, to Universal Music Group for $2 billion.
BMG COO Charles Goldstuck, who began his career as a publishing executive with Warner Music Group's Warner/Chappell, hinted in a Q&A last week at Billboard's Music & Money conference here that a move into publishing is "imminent."
"You can expect that will be an important part of our business," he said. "The up-and-coming writer/producer community has to be fully intertwined with our artist community."
However Goldstuck was quick to caution that the company's focus won't be on big expensive catalogs of older songs that have been selling for hundreds of millions of dollars.
"It's not about us building a catalog," he said. "That, we leave to the majors who do that much better than we ever could."
Exploitation of publishing rights in film and television, video games, ringtones and other digital products has become a valuable source of income for music companies at a time when traditional CD sales are on the decline.
For pop and hip-hop acts, publishing deals also are increasingly viewed as key to getting access to the best material when it comes to beats and songs. -
Sony/ATV’s Bandier keen for digital Beatles
Aside from the chaps at EMI, Sony/ATV CEO Martin Bandier is another person who is very excited at the possibility of the Beatles archives finally going digital.
Why wouldn’t he? According to the larger-than-life publishing veteran, his company manages the rights of “about 100 percent” of the music and lyrics penned by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for the Fab Four.
After last month’s TV ratings success in licensing the Beatles’ tunes to American Idol, Bandier is keen to do more deals with the valuable archive. He thinks making the songs available in a digital format will create even more opportunities for his company, EMI and Apple Corp, which manages the Beatles’ affairs.“One of the things that I think the Beatles are working on closer with EMI - and hopefully getting closer to finalizing it - is to allow for the digital use of Beatles on the Apple (iTunes) store and everywhere else. It would be incredible,” Bandier told Reuters in an interview.
But it isn’t his decision to make as EMI and Apple Corp lead those discussions.
“All we can do is sit on the sidelines and root like crazy,” said Bandier.Sony/ATV is a joint venture between Sony Corp and pop star Michael Jackson. Bandier says the gloved one has been a great partner even as speculation floats from time to time that Jackson may want to sell his share to repay some of his loans.
“I don’t think that Michael’s interested in selling his share. For me, he’s been a great partner, has been supportive and has an amazing reputation among the artistry and makes a call when we need him to reinforce our position with artists. “

Sony/ATV seeks songs, may expand into touring
LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Music publisher Sony/ATV is well placed to purchase catalogues of songs that come to the market and would consider expanding into artist management and touring, its chief executive said on Wednesday.
Sony/ATV, a joint venture between Sony Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) and pop star Michael Jackson, expects more music catalogues to be put up for sale this year as people look to cash in profits in a slowing economy, said CEO Martin Bandier in a telephone interview.
"To the extent that large acquisitions become available, Sony/ATV is in a particularly good place," he said. "It's hard to overpay for a great Picasso...if you're buying quality music that will last for generations. Great songs are a rarity."
Sony/ATV is a traditional music publisher which makes money every time a piece of music is used on a variety of outlets including radio, movies, live performances, advertising as well as a share from recorded music sales.
The company owns rights to classic songs by the Beatles and newer songs by artists like Akon and Fergie.Bandier, who oversaw the growth of EMI Music Publishing from No. 4 to the largest before he left in 2007, said co-owner Sony recognized the value of music publishing and would likely fund an acquisition with "open arms" if the deal was right.
He said he had shirked from paying over the odds for the Chrysalis (CHS.L: Quote, Profile, Research) catalogue, which was up for sale this month. Chrysalis said this week it had turned down a bid from EMI for 130 million pounds ($256 million).
"I didn't understand how that was going to work under any circumstances," Bandier said. He said he was not surprised his former employer EMI and its new private equity owner, Terra Firma, did not agree to raise their price.
"We'll look for opportunities for 360 deals and think that we're as qualified to do those as any of the record companies."
Bandier said Jackson had been a great partner and very supportive to other artists and he did not think the singer was interested in selling his share.Sony/ATV seeks songs, may expand into touring | Special Coverage | Reuters

Music firm Chrysalis ends bid talks as shares slump
LONDON (Reuters) - David Bowie, Blondie and Gnarls Barkley publisher Chrysalis Group Plc ended talks with a would-be buyer, said by industry sources to be rival EMI, sending its shares down as much as 20 percent.
Chrysalis said on Tuesday it had ended the discussions after rejecting a 130 million pound ($255.8 million) cash offer for its equity and debt, which valued its shares at 155 pence each.
Having sold its radio stations last year, Chrysalis said in December it was in talks about selling its remaining music publishing and recording business.
EMI and Warner Chappell, the music publishing unit of Warner Music Group Corp, were tipped by analysts as frontrunners, while Sony/ATV, a joint venture between Sony Corp and singer Michael Jackson, was also believed to be looking at the company.
But with talks collapsing, the firm's shares slumped as hopes evaporated of a buyout at around 200p a share.
"Clearly it's disappointing. In mid February there were three bidders but then the credit crunch took its toll, three shrank to one and 155 pence is certainly not a knockout price," said ABN AMRO analyst Simon Davies.
Chrysalis said the credit crisis had sapped interest and industry sources said EMI was the only bidder. EMI, owned by private equity firm Terra Firma, did not return calls.
"In these markets you would have to say the chances of another bidder being able to meet the price they were looking for is pretty low," Davies added.
By 3:49 p.m. BST (1449 GMT) Chrysalis shares were down 15 percent at 114-1/2p, valuing the group at 76 million pounds. They touched a three-month low of 105-1/2p.
HOLLYWOOD CUT
Chrysalis shares were also hit as it warned that a lack of recent album releases and a strike by Hollywood film writers would also reduce royalty revenue by more 10 percent.
"We expect NPS (net publisher's share) for the six months ended 29 February 2008 to be lower by over 10 percent on the same period in the previous financial year," it said.
It added that with new albums set for release it expected NPS to recover in the second half of the year, while it would continue to try to sell non-publishing parts of its business.
Chrysalis, which also has The Gossip, The Cribs and Estelle on its roster, is one of the few remaining independent British publishers.
Unlike record companies which sell albums and tracks to the public, publishers such as Chrysalis charge advertisers and movie makers to use their artists' music.
This has largely protected them from the boom in illegal downloading which has savaged most of the music industry in recent years and made them attractive takeover targets.

Chrysalis shares dip as takeover talks hit the rocks

SHARES in music group Chrysalis ended yesterday down nearly 15 per cent after the publisher pulled out of takeover talks with a mystery suitor.

SonyBMG Make Michael Jackson, Britney Spears Songs Available For Free
As part of new digital service...
by Jason Gregory
28 April 2008SonyBMG, one of the world’s biggest record labels, has made music by its artists free to listen to over the internet.
The record label has signed a deal with We7 to stream songs on user’s computers accompanied by a short advert.
The new deal will give music fans access to the complete back-catalogues of artists including Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Elvis Presley.
Speaking to BBC’s Newsbeat, the boss of We7 Steve Purdham, said the deal will give “free music in return for some of your time.”
The new service, which launches today (April 28th), will build the profiles of its users so that adverts are target specific to each person.
Once users have listened to the songs they will also have the option to pay to download the tracks to their computer or MP3 players.
We7 is seen as the latest effort to try and control the growing problem of music piracy, which has seen the sale of traditional recorded formats, such as CDs, decline rapidly over recent years.

Business of carrying a tune
By Joshua Chaffin
Published: June 22 2008 17:20 | Last updated: June 22 2008 17:20Before Martin Bandier agreed last year to sign on as chief executive of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, there was just one concern weighing on his mind: Michael Jackson (below).
As half-owner of Sony/ATV, Mr Jackson holds broad sway over a catalogue that boasts roughly half a million songs, including more than 200 Beatles classics. But while the King of Pop has proved an astute collector of music, his legal troubles and reclusive lifestyle had sometimes paralysed management at Sony/ATV.
“If I wanted to do a deal, I had to have the flexibility to be able to close it quickly,” says Mr Bandier, one of the creators of the modern music publishing industry, as he recalls his concern.
The two men had done business before. In 1993, when he was head of EMI Music Publishing, Mr Bandier paid Mr Jackson a record $70m advance for the right to administer his ATV Music catalogue. As part of the deal, Mr Bandier also agreed to sell three of his favourite Elvis songs to the singer, who was then dating Lisa Marie Presley. This was no small concession for a self-described “song junkie”.
It is unclear whether that favour figured in Mr Jackson’s thinking. But, after a brief phone conversation last year, Mr Bandier was put at ease.
“For me, it’s a piece of cake,” he says of the relationship, still chuckling at Mr Jackson’s insistence on calling him “Mr Bandier”. “To his credit, Michael has given me a green light.”As Mr Bandier recounts it, the episode is of a piece with his happy tenure at Sony/ATV. With two sizeable acquisitions, he has begun to increase market share at the fourth-largest music publisher. He enjoys the backing of a supportive boss, Sony chief executive Sir Howard Stringer.
Just as importantly, Mr Bandier feels free from the turmoil of his time at his former employer, EMI, where the contribution of music publishing was often overshadowed by the chaos in the rest of the company, and profit warnings and restructurings seemed to lurk around the corner.
“It’s been spectacular. There’s no other way to put it than to say that this has been the best year-and-a-half imaginable,” says Mr Bandier, seated in a mogul-sized office that includes his familiar wooden cigar box and the requisite collection of autographed guitars.
In geological terms, music publishing is one part of the music industry that is not sinking into the ocean. In fact, it continues to grow. Publishers collect a small royalty each time their songs are featured in films, advertisements, concerts, wind-up toys and now video games, among other uses.
A music-lover who trained as a lawyer, Mr Bandier got into publishing in the 1970s when it was the decidedly un-sexy side of the business. His big score came in 1986, when he and two partners acquired the CBS Songs catalogue for $125m. Two years later, they sold to Thorn-EMI for $340m. For the next 17 years, Mr Bandier worked to build EMI Music Publishing into the industry leader, snapping up the Motown catalogue, among others, and aggressively marketing their hit songs. “It’s not just being a bank,” he says of his approach. “It’s about being proactive and going out and getting commercials or film and TV opportunities.”
In spite of EMI’s success, it came as little surprise in late 2006 when Mr Bandier bowed out. The relationship had frayed over the years as Mr Bandier took an increasingly dim view of senior management. “It was one fiasco after another,” he says. For their part, EMI’s top brass tired of the griping from an executive who was being paid more money than the company’s then-chief executive, Eric Nicoli.
At 64, and wealthy, Mr Bandier could easily have retired. But he was restless. At Sony/ATV, he saw a publishing business with room to grow. Sony sweetened the forthcoming deal by offering equity, making him a partner as opposed to a salaried employee. “I’m at the stage of my life that I’m doing this because I want to – not because I have to,” he says.
Once in the job, Mr Bandier wasted little time fulfilling industry expectations that he would become an aggressive bidder for any and all catalogues. Last April, he paid $45m for the Leiber and Stoller catalogue, which includes Elvis’s “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock”.
A month later, he won a $350m auction for Viacom’s Famous Music Publishing, which boasts the soundtracks to Paramount films such as The Godfather.
There are whispers in the industry that Mr Bandier has overpaid, but he is unapologetic. “My philosophy has always been that I would rather spend more on something that is climbing the charts and going to be successful than spend half that on something where you just don’t know,” he explains.
For all the happy talk, though, Mr Bandier admits to suffering an emotional period following his EMI break-up and the loss of a business he had spent his career building. It was particularly wrenching when he would drive to his beach house and one of his old EMI songs would come on the radio. “My wife said my face would sort of change,” he recalls.Six months ago, he went for lunch with his old friend Berry Gordy, the legendary Motown Records founder who sold his own catalogue of songs to Mr Bandier in 1997.
“I said, ‘Berry, let me ask you a question: Do you ever feel like you were lost? Do you ever feel anger that you still don’t own Motown Records . . . when you hear a song being played, and you know that you were there when Smokey Robinson wrote it?’”“He said, ‘yeah, all the time,’” Mr Bandier recalls. Then Mr Gordy offered a blunt bit of advice: “Get over it.”
Mr Bandier says he finally has. The question now is, how will he take Sony/ATV forward? Mr Stringer, he says, publicly pledged at a recent gathering of Sony/ATV executives that he was prepared to bankroll further acquisitions.Mr Bandier would jump at the opportunity if EMI were to unload all or part of its publishing group – either to raise cash or to satisfy regulators as part of a future merger with Warner Music.
At present, though, Sony seems more focused on trying to buy out Bertelsmann’s share of their recorded music joint venture, Sony BMG. The cost could exceed $1bn (€641m, £506m).Another problem is that Mr Bandier’s success has encouraged a legion of imitators. As the recorded music business collapses and the value of publishing becomes clear, new competitors – including private equity firms – have entered the fray and pushed up prices.
Mr Bandier is convinced that many have overpaid, and – lacking experience – will be forced to sell sooner or later. “At some point in time, we’re going to be able to buy those things back at a much cheaper rate,” he predicts.
He also foresees an eventual windfall from a host of new social networks, such as MySpace, which are ramping up their music offerings and will have to pay royalties.In the meantime, he is focusing on Sony/ATV’s most valuable asset – its trove of Beatles songs. “There’s no bigger star than ‘All You Need is Love’,” he says, calling the collection “unique”.
In 1985, he travelled to Perth to try to buy the catalogue from Australian tycoon Robert Holmes à Court. But another collector – Mr Jackson – bested him.Although their offers were comparable, Mr Jackson played a charity show in Australia. He also gave the song “Penny Lane” to Mr Holmes à Court’s daughter, Penny.
Apple Corps, the company the Beatles created to manage their business affairs, has balked at licensing deals over the years. Yet that seems to be changing under Jeff Jones, the new chief executive. In the past year, Apple and Sony/ATV have licensed Beatles compositions for use in American Idol, a Las Vegas show and a Hollywood film. They are closing in on a multi-million dollar deal to create a Beatles-themed video game.“It’s about making sure that the songs that we control are used in every manner, shape and form possible,” Mr Bandier says, “and hopefully with good taste.”
