Streem backflips on Copyright Agency stoush, inking deal as fellow media monitors head back to tribunal

Media monitoring company Streem is no longer party to tribunal action against the Copyright Agency (CA), announcing instead a new, multi-year licensing agreement with the Agency to access content from leading Australian publishers.

Streem had previously joined with rival media monitors Isentia and Meltwater in taking CA to the Copyright Tribunal. The three major media monitoring companies made separate applications in the tribunal seeking a cut in copyright fees, with the case getting underway last Monday.
