> Discover all financial details on the ANote Music platform
ANote Music has received from SIAE (the Italian National Collective Organisation) the funds as royalties payout for the reference period of January 2020 – June 2020 (H1 2020) for the IRMA Records Publishing Catalogue (ID003) and the Benvenuto Publishing Catalogue (ID006).
In response to the general market slowdown due to the impact of COVID-19 on live performances and general life, SIAE has distributed some of its reserves pro-quota to its members (among which IRMA Records and Benvenuto Publishing) based on the member’s historical performance. ANote Music embraced the effort of SIAE to stimulate the music industry, and is thus further backing the package towards the investors on the platform during this payout. Indeed, compared to previous earning periods, in terms of year to year performance, lockdown restrictions took a considerable toll on the industry, with the publishing business being down in excess of 40% across Italy and Southern Europe.
