DISTRIBUTION OF PREVIOUSLY UNIDENTIFIED MUSICAL WORKS AND RECORDINGS
The result which stood out in 2016 was fruit of a long-term investment in technology. A business intelligence tool was developed to more efficiently match previously unidentified musical works and recordings, making it possible to release and distribute R$ 62.2 million,
corresponding to 17% of the total distribution.
In relation to the total previously unidentified musical works and recordings released in Ecad, 57% were paid to members represented by UBC.
