Music Recording Industry


As a newly formed consultancy in 1992, Massarsky Consulting was retained by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the trade organization that represents the owners of 90% of all sound recordings in the United States. Sixteen years later, we still serve them, having gained deep insight into the dynamics of the industry over time.

We work with the music recording industry to preserve and protect existing copyrights through developing and evaluating licensing regimes, providing litigation support and counsel to lobbying groups, evaluating the effects of piracy, and performing industry analysis. Our extensive experience in the music recording industry allows us to deliver insight and analysis that is both nuanced and rigorously performed. As a result, we are frequently called upon as expert witnesses to testify on damages analysis in this industry. We consistently help our clients to optimize their revenues and understand the many levers present in the industry today.
