Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 1, 2018, the Company entered into an initial joint venture agreement with Music Reports, Inc., (“MRI”). Music Reports (musicreports.com), long known as a trusted leader in music rights licensing, administration and royalty accounting, will initially partner with VNUE to provide Performing Rights Organization (PRO) data to VNUE’s Soundstr MRT (music recognition technology) platform through its extensive Songdex database, and will eventually work with VNUE to integrate automated direct licensing capability and royalty payment and distribution into the Soundstr platform. Once a song is identified by Soundstr, Songdex will in turn provide a deep data set such as song ownership as well as the entire chain of rights, including publishers, sub publishers, and PRO information. This data set – an end-to-end chain – will provide Soundstr an eventual path for direct automated licensing of songs (including first ever for “instant live” technologies such as VNUE’s set.fm platform), and the rich data necessary to create a more fair licensing system for bars, restaurants, radio stations, and other brick and mortar establishments that utilize music as well as ensuring the correct songwriters are properly compensated.
