The neighbouring rights distributed among musicians in Belgium are generated by four types of remunerations: the Equitable remuneration (70% on average), Private copying (25% on average), Rights collected abroad (4% on average), and the Lending right (0,2% on average). The income generated by the equitable remuneration is noticeably the highest.
