Why is the distribution to Mainland China "exclusive"?
We cannot distribute your music if it is already in China via your current distributor with the exception of Tencent (TME): QQ, Kuwo and Kugou and/or Netease. We can distribute your music if your music is only on both or either one of these streaming services.
Musicinfo wants to guarantee that your music will not be distributed to the DSPs in Mainland China multiple times in other words, we want to ensure that your music is not duplicated across the platforms, therefore, when distributing to to Mainland China with us, we request that you keep it exclusive.
