AMRA is a global digital collection society owned by Kobalt Music Group, but operated separately from that company.<\/p>\n

In October that year, AMRA announced another global licensing deal<\/a>, this time with YouTube.<\/p>\n

AMRA, which claims to license its music directly into over 200 territories outside of the United States, is led by CEO, Tomas Ericsson.<\/p>\n
