Technology-focussed music publishing company, originally founded in UK but now firmly based in Berlin.Our main focus is on electronic music, in particular techno and house and all sub-genres in between. Particular interest is on \"Got Played? Get Paid!\". We control in excess of copyrights from more than 200 DJ/Producers.Musiqware\'s strategy in brief:* Direct membership of collecting societies in numerous countries around the world.* Extensive use of technology to achieve high accuracy and speed for managing music rights.* Being Pro-active: Making sure that societies have correct information, have all necessary information, and have that information in a timely manner.In theory, this strategy should enable the flow of *all* royalties through the ecosystem of collecting societies. Reality is that there are still a lot of inefficiencies at societies that prevent that, but this strategy has certainly proven to maximise the chances for artists to get paid by the societies.
