In the last six months the independent sector's infrastructure was bought, almost entirely, by the majors:
| Platform | What it is | Who owns it now |
|---|---|---|
| LISTNBASE | Label operating system | Independent — (Music Label Group) |
| Reprtoir | Catalog + royalty accounting | Independent |
| Curve | Royalty accounting | Independent — divested from Universal by EC order, Feb 2026 |
| Revelator | Distribution + rights | Warner Music (April 2026) |
| FUGA | White-label distribution | Universal (Virgin Music Group) |
| Songtrust | Publishing admin | Universal (via Downtown, Feb 2026) |
| CD Baby | DIY distribution | Universal (via Downtown, Feb 2026) |
The Curve line is the one worth reading twice. When Universal bought Downtown, the European Commission approved it on the condition that Universal divest Curve — because Curve held the royalty and contractual data of independent labels competing with Universal.
A regulator looked at a major label owning the system that holds your royalty data and said no. That is the argument for independence, and we didn't have to make it.

Listn Base is built for independent labels, artist management companies, and label services teams running 5 to 50 artists—the ones currently doing this across spreadsheets, Drive, and email.
If you're a distributor ingesting from seventy sources or a publisher who needs cross-collateralization across contract groups and 150+ currencies, you need enterprise royalty software, and we'll say so on a call. If you'd rather hand accounting to an outsourced team entirely, that's a managed service, not software.
Everyone in between is who we built this for.
Nobody on this page is trying to be what we're trying to be. Reprtoir does catalog and royalties, brilliantly, and says so. Curve does royalty accounting, brilliantly, and says so. The market's own advice is to assemble a stack: one tool for royalties, another for links, another for marketing, another for your press kits, and a spreadsheet for touring.
That works. It also means five logins, five invoices, five vendors who each hold a piece of your label, and no single place where an artist can see what they're owed.
LISTNBASE is the argument against the stack. One login, from your landing in your inbox to a payout landing in your artist's. Your roster, your contracts, your releases, your campaigns, your tour P&L and your royalties, on your own domain, owned by nobody but you.
