OurStage
Free online competition for prizes where the fans decide who's the best in emerging entertainment. Artists upload their music or video and decide which channel (music genre) competition to enter. Then, fans judge the work against the work of other artists. Their unique judging capability (known to us as Peer Relative Ranking) makes sure that each piece is judged fairly by the real audience - no rigging, no cheating, no celebrity judges. At the end of each month, the Top 20 is whittled down to the Top 10 in each channel. These artists go head-to-head in a special judging channel to determine a winner of a particular channel. Then a site-wide judging contest determines the Grand Prize winner.

SESAC
SESAC is a performing rights organization with headquarters in Nashville and offices in New York, Los Angeles, and London. SESAC, represents songwriters and publishers and their right to be compensated for having their music performed in public. By securing a license from SESAC, for example, music users (i.e., television and radio stations, auditoriums, restaurants, hotels, theme parks, malls, etc.) can legally play any song in the SESAC repertory. Without a license from a performing rights organization, music users are in danger of copyright infringement. When a songwriter or publisher affiliates with SESAC, SESAC then represents the right for that music to be played in public. As the technological leader among the nation’s performing rights organizations, SESAC was the first P.R.O. to employ state-of-the-art Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) performance detection. SESAC utilizes BDS in conjunction with other cutting edge performance detection technology, providing SESAC’s writer and publisher affiliates with the fastest, most accurate royalty payment available anywhere. The system required to compute compensation is based on many factors, including music trade publication chart activity, computer database information, and state-of-the-art monitoring.
