Harry Fox Agency (NYC) and Ricall Partner to Provide Synchronization Licensing
NYC-based The Harry Fox Agency, Inc. (HFA), a provider of intellectual property management, licensing, and royalty services for the music industry has announced a collaboration with Ricall, which operates the world’s largest online music research and licensing marketplace.
HFA is deepening its involvmenet with synch licensing, in its new partnership with Ricall.
The partnership is intended to provide a fast and easy licensing solution for synchronization licensing. The plans for collaboration were finalized at this year’s Midem, and will hopefully help simplify the often complicated synchronization license process, which often involves licensing requests for multiple parties.
Working together, HFA and Ricall plan to create a one-stop shop which leverages HFA’s relationships with thousands of music publishers, and Ricall’s technical experience in building music licensing platforms, and its ability to provide master recordings.
This combination is intended to dramatically simplify the process for users, allowing music to enhance various visual images or videos, while appropriately compensating rights holders. The service offering is currently, in development and will be available later in the year.
