Background information: Where do these international rights come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any artist who becomes a member of PlayRight, has the option to grant us a worldwide mandate<\/a> in his or her contract. Based on agreements with our sister societies abroad, we collect information on how the repertoire of our artists is used in over 40 countries.<\/a> This allows us to collect the remunerations accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
