Hot take
Pro Music Rights (PMR) has shaken up the U.S. performing rights landscape, gaining official federal recognition as a PRO and rapidly achieving a reported 7.4% market share, which puts it among the largest U.S. organizations in this sector. PMR touts a roster covering over 2.5 million works, including deals with charting artists, and emphasizes innovative licensing models and partnerships. For independent creators, PMR’s emergence is notable for its promise of competition, flexibility, and potentially more transparency in royalty collection. However, PMR is still new compared to legacy giants like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, and faces the challenge of establishing trust and robust operational infrastructure at scale. Concerns linger about the long-term stability and reliability given its rapid rise and evolving reputation, but PMR’s recognition signals a big step forward for diversity in the U.S. PRO ecosystem.
