It asked Warner to let Zebralution clients move promptly if they wish to remain independent and to give those who stay the same access to remuneration and promotional tools as Warner artists.<\/p>\n<p>IMPALA also called for continued industry collaboration on streaming integrity and action on diversity and other measures in its Digital Music Plan. Addressing European Union (EU) policymakers, it urged a sector-specific approach as the EU reviews copyright, artificial intelligence (AI) and competition policies and works to implement its Cultural Compass.<\/p>\n<p>Zebralution was divested by WMG in 2017 after ten years under its ownership. An independent consortium of co-founders and other independent music executives acquired it in April 2017, before German collecting society <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gema.de\/\">GEMA<\/a><\/strong> bought it in December 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, GEMA sold all of Zebralution to <strong>Insight Partners<\/strong>, merging it into <strong>Bookwire<\/strong>. WMG has now bought back the Zebralution Music arm, while Bookwire retains the audiobook and ebook division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IMPALA has responded to Warner Music
