History
Disney Music Publishing controls the publishing rights to music from Disney's film, television, theater and theme park divisions.[5] In November 2006, DMP and Warner Chappell Music agreed to a licensing agreement for Europe and South America major markets.[6] In 2012, Disney Music Group announced that in conjunction with Hollywood Records, Walt Disney Records, and Disney Music Publishing, they would create a one-stop sync licensing department to streamline use of music that Disney controls.[7] In 2018 Universal Music Publishing Group and DMP expanded their business relationship to the continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Israel and Ireland, as well as countries in the Caribbean and Africa.[2][8]
