What are international rights?  

An artist who joins PlayRight can give us a global mandate. Thanks to our bilateral agreements with sister organisations abroad, we obtain information about the use of your repertoire in 47 countries. This also allows us to claim your international rights. 

The distribution of international rights follows the local distribution rules of collective society in question. PlayRight does check the quality of their data meticulously and then takes care of transferring the calculated amount to the artist. 

What is the distribution based on?  

A distribution of international rights applies to several reference years, both for music and audiovisual recordings. That distribution includes the following territories and reference years:  

PlayRight, like other foreign management societies, charges 5% operational costs when transferring international rights. 

Where can I find more details about this payment? 

Through the PlayRight portal, you can find more information about this payment of foreign rights.  

Log in and choose the menu “Rights” in your dashboard. Here you will find the amount you receive per country, reference year and category (music/audiovisual). You may therefore find details of the relevant recordings for some countries and not for others, as we rely on information we receive from the foreign sister companies.  

This is the last distribution of 2024 of rights collected abroad.  

Be sure to check our 2024 distribution calendar to know when the next distributions of music and audiovisual rights will take place. You can also consult the deadlines for the declaration of your recordings via the calendar.
