What does a collective management organisation such as GEMA, PRS for Music or ASCAP do?

As an artist, it is important that you are properly remunerated for the use of your works. This is often a complex matter, as there are many different rules and regulations governing the use and remuneration of music.
This is where a collective management organisation GEMA, BMI, SACEM etc. can be very helpful.

GEMA, for example, is one of the largest collective management organisations in the world and represents the interests of over 70,000 members.
It ensures that your work is used legally in Germany and that you are appropriately remunerated for it.
GEMA administers and protects your rights as an originator and ensures that you are appropriately remunerated for the use of your works in various areas such as radio, television, film, online platforms or in advertising.
For this purpose, GEMA collects the fees due for the use of your works and passes them on to you.

It is important to note that GEMA collects fees not only for your own works, but also for the works of other artists that you use in your own works and passes them on to them.
This is an important part of copyright law as it ensures that all authors are remunerated appropriately, regardless of who uses their works.

In summary, a collective management organisation such as GEMA can be an important partner for artists as it ensures that your rights are protected and that you are properly remunerated for the use of your works.
