9. In the 1990s, the music industry came to see licensing for film and TV as an integral strategy for keeping labels in the black and for promoting certain artists -Master use: negotiated with record companies; allows licensees to use specific recordings -Synchronization: negotiated with the publishers of a particular song; entitles licensee to use the notes and lyrics of aparticular piece of music Licensing as revenue stream that could compensate for declining CD sales and lost profits caused by downloading and piracy

10. WB programming implemented tagging in the late 1990s “Free” promotions that warranted license fee reductions New and indie artists were seen as most likely to go along with such practices as radio further consolidated in the wake of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 MTV’s turn to lifestyle programming Decline of music video promotion Songs from Dawson’s Creek (Sony, 1999)
