Industry Code : 51221
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in record production (e.g. CDs and DVDs). These establishments contract with artists and arrange and finance the production of original master recordings. Establishments in this industry hold the copyright to the master recording and derive most of their revenue from the sales, leasing, and licensing of the master recordings. It is important to note that under the definition, establishments in this industry do not have their own duplication or distribution capabilities. Thus, the major record labels (Universal, Sony BMG, Warner Music and EMI) are not included as part of this industry. They are part of the Integrated Record Production/Distribution Industry (NAICS 51222). The development of records / tracks produces an intangible product and therefore copyrights and patents are prevalent within this industry. Industry works are then passed on to manufacturers of optical media for mass production of the original master recording as well as record distribution agents.
