New York - The Harry Fox Agency (HFA), which represents licensing needs for 35,000 music publishers, announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with Audible Magic, a provider of digital fingerprinting and copyright tracking services, on a service that will identify music within user-generated content.

The combination of Audible Magic's ability to identify sound recordings and HFA's capacity to identify compositions within those recordings will facilitate licensing of music for all types of user-supplied content distributors, the companies said.

"The results of this collaboration will be a breakthrough for all kinds of online consumer-generated content services to license properly the material on their systems," said HFA president and CEO Gary Churgin.

Audible Magic is also providing its copyright identification and filtering technology to media distributors including YouTube and MySpace.
