Ben Cockerham

Ben Cockerham (born 1980) co-founded royalty processing companies RightsFlow and Source3, both known for simplifying the complex process of U.S. copyright compliance. Cockerham also is a composer, arranger and musician in musical groups out of Brooklyn, NY.

Cockerham holds a Bachelor's from Baylor University in music composition, and a graduate degree from New York University's Music Business (MUBG-MA) - Master of Arts Program. While at NYU, he worked at digital music service eMusic where he met colleague Patrick Sullivan. They later joined The Orchard working for founders Richard Gottehrer and Scott Cohen, to implement innovative global licensing, revenue and marketing opportunities for musicians and labels. Cockerham also managed day-to-day music licensing for film, TV advertising, and royalties collections. In 2006, he co-produced Hard Rock International's SERVE2 project – a compilation album featuring previously unreleased tracks from Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Joss Stone and other influential artists – to benefit WhyHunger, distributed through The Orchard via iTunes.

In 2007, Cockerham and Sullivan parlayed their first-hand knowledge for simplifying the complex process of U.S. copyright compliance to found RighstFlow, also providing support for online entities including Muzak, The Orchard, CD Baby, and DiskMakers. Google acquired RightsFlow in 2011 in order to streamline music royalties processes for its YouTube platform.
