June 10th, 2025 - Bridger, a leading and innovative copyright management company and part of Winamp, has proudly been confirmed by CISAC (the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers) as a Rights Management Entity (RME) client, following a positive recommendation made at CISAC’s General Assembly on May 28. This represents a key milestone in Bridger’s business development.

This confirmation marks an important step in Bridger’s evolution as a recognized Rights Management Entity (RME) client of CISAC. It reflects that Bridger meets the necessary criteria to access CISAC services, in line with the organization's procedures for RME clients. This status enables Bridger to further its mission of supporting creators through transparent and efficient royalty management on a global scale.

Bridger collects rights on behalf of its members globally and recently announced a strategic partnership with BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.). This collaboration empowers Bridger to collect performance royalties in the United States, further advancing its mission to serve music creators worldwide. Through this partnership, Bridger can now collect royalties not only from digital platforms but also from physical venues throughout the U.S.

“Bridger is dedicated to helping songwriters and composers claim the royalties they deserve through an intuitive platform that simplifies registration and rights management—especially for those outside traditional collective management organizations,” said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Bridger. “Since our launch in 2022, our goal has been to provide a new, more efficient model for thousands of authors, composers, and publishers to manage their rights globally. Being recognized by CISAC is a proud moment for us, validating our approach and vision. And this is just the beginning—we are committed to building the future of copyright management.”
