BRUSSELS, July 07, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Regulatory News: Winamp Group (Paris: ALWIN) (Brussels: ALWIN), the parent company of Winamp, announces a new milestone in the development of Bridger, its copyright management platform. Following several waves of agreements announced since March, Bridger continues expanding its international rights network through new partnerships in Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and India. While Bridger already benefited from extensive coverage of online mechanical rights, these new agreements progressively extend its collection capabilities to additional categories of rights, including public performance rights, offline mechanical rights, and historical collections. These rights cover music uses outside streaming platforms, including radio and television broadcasts, commercial venues, live events and physical media, and represent a significant source of additional revenue for creators. The new agreements signed with SIAE (Italy), SPA (Portugal), SAZAS (Slovenia) and IPRS ( The Indian Performing Right Society Limited ) further strengthen this strategy. In Europe, they expand the collection of these additional categories of rights across several key markets. In India, the agreement with IPRS completes Bridger's coverage by enabling the collection of both mechanical and public performance rights, across online and offline uses. The first revenues generated under the unilateral agreements concluded over the past few months are now beginning to be received, illustrating Bridger's ability to rapidly translate the progressive expansion of its rights coverage into new revenue opportunities for creators. These initial results validate Bridger's strategy and further strengthen its value proposition within the Winamp for Creators ecosystem. "After establishing strong coverage of online mechanical rights, we are now expanding our collection capabilities into additional categories of rights that represent significant incremental revenue opportunities for creators," said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Winamp and Bridger . "The first revenues generated by the agreements concluded over recent months demonstrate that this strategy is already delivering tangible results and reinforce our ambition to make Bridger one of the most comprehensive rights management platforms in the industry."
