If you’re a music creator, your songs are more than just soundโthey’re your intellectual property. So, who makes sure your music earns money every time it’s played on the radio, streamed, or performed live? Thatโs where global rights organizations step in.
These organizations are your silent but powerful partners, working behind the scenes to track, collect, and pay your royalties across borders. ๐โจ
๐ก What Are Global Rights Organizations?
Global rights organizations, also known as Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) or Collective Management Organizations (CMOs), represent songwriters, composers, and publishers. They:
- Collect performance royalties ๐ฐ when your music is played in public (TV, radio, live venues, etc.)
- License your works to broadcasters, streaming platforms, and businesses.
- Distribute earnings to you based on performance tracking.
Without these organizations, it would be nearly impossible to monitor and monetize your music globally. ๐ฏ
