My catalogue disappeared from Meta ( and I'm not a SIAE member )

Ciao a tutti ( scriverò il post anche in inglese per sicurezza ),

Ho attualmente un piccolo catalogo con mie produzioni distribuito da IMusician. Ero iscritto a PRS for music ( UK ) ma da poco sono entrato in Soundreef ( mantenendo le royalties per l’UK con PRS ).
Da quando è venuto meno l’accordo tra Meta e SIAE è sparito anche il mio catalogo ( e non solo il mio ) da Ig. E’ una problematica che avete riscontrato anche voi o con altri artisti ( se a leggere siete voi di iMusician )? Alcuni dicono che Meta abbia fatto di tutta l’erba un fascio senza porsi il dilemma della differenza sostanziale tra siae e Soundreef…
Grazie in anticipo per i vostri feedback!

I’ve had my catalogue published by iMusician for a while and after being only member with PRS ( from UK ) I’ve also joined Soundreef for Italy and the rest of the world ( excluding the UK ).
However, after the lack of deal between SIAE and Meta not only has SIAE members’ catalogue disappeared from Meta but also mine ( and other artists’, who are not linked with SIAE ).

Does anyone know the reason of this issue? Did maybe Meta paint every artist with the same brush not knowing the difference between SIAE and Soundreef ( which does sound weird to me )?
I hope someone can help and the issue could be fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Hello dear @telec, thanks for your message!

I will be responding in english so that everyone can read. It seems like Meta is not able to remove only the releases of artists registered with SIAE.
We are monitoring the situation checking the news daily from SIAE, IMAE and Soundreef.

It is a very sad news and seems the reasons are lack of transparency and of course, unfair conditions. We all hope to have more clarity soon but for the moment you are right, it seems like italian releases as whole are affected.

Thanks again for sharing this with us and let’s hang tight! Have a good day!
