Why OpenRights Exists

Managing entertainment rights and catalog data is hard. Most distributors and sales agents start with spreadsheets — and many stay there for years. There's nothing wrong with that, but without the right structure, data quality degrades silently until a rights conflict costs you a deal.

Our Mission

OpenRights is an independent resource for anyone who manages entertainment catalog data. We provide free tools, templates, tutorials, and consulting to help you:

• Clean your catalog data — standardize territory codes, validate identifiers, fix inconsistencies
• Automate repetitive work — Excel macros and Google Sheets scripts that save hours per week
• Choose the right tools — vendor-neutral reviews of rights management software
• Build better workflows — data quality practices that scale with your catalog

Independent & Free

OpenRights is not affiliated with any software vendor. Our reviews are vendor-neutral. Our templates are free to download and use. Our consulting sessions have no sales pitch attached.

We believe that better data quality across the entertainment industry benefits everyone — distributors, platforms, producers, and ultimately the audiences who get to discover great content.

We're a team of catalog management experts with years of experience in entertainment distribution.
