Music licensing hub Broma16 is expanding with its latest deals, including an international agreement with YouTube and partnerships with three collecting societies from the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) region.
The YouTube deal will see Broma16 collecting music royalties from the online-video service in territories including Africa, Asia, Middle East, Europe and the CIS, and distributing them to its members.
