Both are music royalty collection societies sanctioned by their respective governments. The difference is, Soundexchange is under the control of the music industry…ROMS is not. Therefore, the music industry refuses to register with ROMS and refuses to acknowledge it’s authority, despite the fact that fees are collected on behalf of the music industry’s members. Of course, Soundexchange does the same thing to indies…collecting fees and licensing music for anyone and everyone involved in music, regardless of whether they are an official member or even recognize Soundexchange as legitimate. This demonstrates the brazen hypocrisy of the music industry. It’s my understanding that ROMS is more or less the Russian equivalent of the US’s Soundexchange.
