Contractual marketplace access. Offers governed data or content access under platform or transaction terms.

Catalog status describes public availability, not legal validity, adoption, or proven effectiveness.
What it is
GCX is Rightsify’s marketplace for licensing music catalogs and related audio assets into AI workflows. It is a domain-specific data market platform where the rights-cleared inventory itself is part of the value proposition.
GCX (Global Copyright Exchange) organizes licensed access through a marketplace or exchange for music across the training and fine-tuning stages. Marketplace controls apply to transactions and copies served through the platform, not necessarily to copies obtained elsewhere. Public materials describe a currently available initiative; the newest dated source in this profile is “Current GCX site continues to offer rights-cleared music datasets” (July 16, 2026). These details describe the published mechanism and evidence, not a finding about legal validity, adoption, or effectiveness.
Limitations
The 4.4M-hour and 32B-metadata figures are supported by a dated rollout; the 3PB figure comes from the current official GCX homepage, which is undated.
