Goals / Remit
Audible Magic is a US-based technology company with offices in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. It has been a pioneer in automated content recognition using its proprietary digital audio fingerprinting technology, for which it currently holds over 30 US and European patents. Audible Magic aims to commercialize this technology by providing automated content recognition technology to the technology and media sectors, for purposes such as the licensing of copyright content, audio descriptions of film and TV for the blind, the prevention of copyright infringement, synchronization and interactivity with mobile devices, and broadcasting services such as subscriber authentication and dynamic ad insertion.
Main EU files targeted
Audible Magic has in the past responded to requests from policy makers for information about our technology and services, and will continue to do so in future. We are currently following the Draft Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market with the aim of providing interested parties with honest and unbiased information about content recognition technologies and their application.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
