This study analyzes the financial transactions of performance rights organizations (PROs) in the European Union to trace market structures and identify consolidation opportunities. Using network analysis, it reveals distinct PRO clusters shaped by economic, geographical, and cultural factors, influencing licensing strategies and operational integration. While economies of scale can be achieved through joint platforms, consolidation efforts must balance efficiency with cultural representation. The paper explores strategic options for smaller PROs, weighing intraregional consolidation against outsourcing to interregional rights management hubs. It advocates a holistic view and a regulatory framework that incentivizes both market efficiency and fair cultural representation in the evolving digital music economy
