NEW BLOG POST: Sync Has a Serious Metadata Problem: Can AI Help Us Solve It?
At our recent Sync Summit in Los Angeles, one word echoed with near-comic frequency: Metadata. By the second day, a drinking game was proposed where every time a speaker said “metadata”, the audience would take a shot.
Joking aside, music supervisors, coordinators, sync agents and technologists emphasized the importance of accurate metadata at least 50 times in two days – it’s that important to us.

NEW BLOG POST: The Case Against the Communism of the Commons: Why Public Domain Law Needs Reform
Music should be owned like land, why the public domain may be a relic of an analog past, and a new way forward.
There are few ideas in intellectual life as warmly regarded—and as insufficiently interrogated—as the public domain. For generations, policymakers have treated it as a necessary endpoint: a reservoir into which creative works must eventually flow, free for all to use. The rationale is familiar. Culture builds upon culture; innovation depends on access; the dead should not indefinitely bind the living.
Yet this orthodoxy rests on assumptions forged in a pre-digital world—one in which copying was costly, distribution was scarce, and the economic life of creative works was relatively short. Those conditions no longer apply. In an age where music can be reproduced infinitely at negligible cost, where data is harvested at scale, and where artificial intelligence systems are trained on vast corpora of creative output, the public domain may no longer be a benign commons. It may instead be a mechanism for uncompensated extraction.
At its core, intellectual property (IP) is a recognition of ownership over intangible assets: compositions, recordings, writings, inventions. But unlike physical property—land, buildings, vehicles—IP ownership is time-limited. Copyrights expire. Patents lapse. Eventually, the asset is stripped of its exclusivity and opened to unrestricted use.
This distinction is rarely questioned. It should be...
