You can now declare your music recordings and audiovisual works for the reference year 2022 via your online portal and save yourself a lot of time!
This is the first year that PlayRight has released both its Music and Audiovisual playlists. Every year, we ask our affiliated artists (you) to declare their music recordings via their online portal- after which we can manage, calculate, and distribute their neighbouring rights . However, this year you will also be able to declare your audiovisual works (dubbing/Music in audiovisual) at the same time.
To calculate your music rights for the Belgian territory, PlayRight uses two distribution parameters:
