CISAC Global Database: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how songwriters and composers can use this global database to access international royalty collection networks for their music.
The CISAC Global Database is a system that helps music creators manage their intellectual property across different borders. It provides a way to connect your creative work to international networks that handle payments for your music.
Who it's for
This database is designed specifically for songwriters and composers.
What you get
You gain access to international royalty collection networks. This helps ensure that when your music is played or used around the world, the money owed to you can be tracked and collected.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to use this database, but you must pay for membership through your local collecting society to participate.
The catch to know
You cannot join this database directly on your own. You must already be registered with your local Performing Rights Organization (PRO) to be part of this system.
How to apply
- Ensure you are a songwriter or composer.
- Register with your local Performing Rights Organization (PRO) in your home country.
- Work through your local society to ensure your works are part of the global network.
