“THE BLACK BOX”

The revenue gap

The $400,000,000 held in The MLC’s 'Black Box' is one symptom of systemic data failure.

Capital is currently scattered across domestic mechanicals, international performing rights, and master-side neighboring rights exchanges.

We execute a 360-degree reconciliation of your total works:

  • Domestic Mechanicals: We identify and resolve 'Unclaimed' status at The MLC and HFA

  • Performance Rights: We audit ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC to correct detached IPIs and conflicting ownership registrations

  • International Reciprocals: We verify that your works are accurately mapped at global societies including GEMA and PRS to prevent fee siphoning

  • Neighboring Rights: We verify that SoundExchange registrations are fully associated with your current roster and master recordings

If your data is not synchronized at the source, your revenue is legally classified as 'UNCLAIMED'.

We reconcile these accounts and secure the liquidation of all outstanding funds before the 3-year statute of limitations expires.

Every 24 hours, an estimated $365,000 in 'Unclaimed' funds reaches its statute of limitations and is permanently forfeited to major publishers." This turns a static page into a ticking clock.

The protocol

  • Your songs are streaming, but the system doesn't know who to pay. If you aren't properly linked or registered, your money sits in a holding account until it is confiscated. We manually find your unlinked works and force the system to connect them to you. No more metadata failure.

  • Finding the money is easy; getting it is hard. We execute manual Letter of Direction (LOD) filings and registration disputes to force the PROs to unfreeze your assets. We don't ask for the money; we prove ownership and compel the immediate liquidation of 'Black Box' suspense accounts into your ledger.

  • We fix the registration at the top. We ensure you are correctly linked at The MLC and PROs. Once your data is valid at the source, the global network updates automatically, and the money stops leaking.

From deep-catalog reconciliation to the final liquidation of 'Black Box' funds—a three-stage tactical recovery for the heavy music sector.

Ross Morter

20 years in the pit. 20 years in the ledger.

I am the back-end infrastructure for the independent sector. I am a Forensic Auditor who fixes the administrative errors that cost independent artists millions.

I listen to the music, know the catalogs, and monitor the scene. I identify the data leaks and alert the artist BEFORE the money disappears.

The industry relies on artists being too busy to check the math. I check the math. I apply corporate precision to the heavy music sector to identify metadata leaks and recover your 'Black Box' revenue before it expires.

I apply corporate precision to identifying metadata leaks. Whether it is recovering $5,000 in legacy 'Black Box' funds or managing the global registration of a new LP, I check the math so the artists don't have to.

THE TERMS

We eat the cost of the audit. You only pay for results.

UPFRONT AUDIT FEE: $0.00

RETAINER FEE: $0.00

RECOVERY COMMISSION: 20%

If we recover $0, you owe us $0.

  • Never. We are auditors, not a record label. We simply correct the administrative errors to ensure the money flows to you. You retain 100% ownership.

  • Managers manage careers. We audit data. Most managers rely on the same dashboards you do. We bypass the dashboards and audit the raw source code. You wouldn't ask your Tour Manager to fly the plane; don't ask them to audit a SQL database.

  • Statutes vary, but 3 years is the critical liquidation window. Once that window closes, the money is often redistributed to major labels and lost forever. Time is literally money.

  • No. We work as a tactical layer underneath your current team. We don't take their job; we clean up the data mess so they can do their job better.

  • Because I am a fan first, but an Auditor by trade. I spent my life in the pit AND on stage supporting the scene, and now I use my financial experience to protect it. I don't view your songs as just "data"; I view them as your life's work. I apply forensic scrutiny because I believe you deserve every penny you’ve earned. It’s not just about the money; it’s about respecting your legacy.

We operate on a strict contingency basis. We perform the forensic audit at our own expense. We verify the funds, trigger the payout, and the money goes directly to you. We invoice you for 20% only after the funds hit your bank account. No monthly retainers. No upfront costs. We operate on a success-only model. 20% for Recovery / 15% for Management.
