Nuovo IMAIE: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how performing artists and musicians can collect neighboring rights for their recorded performances through Nuovo IMAIE.
Nuovo IMAIE is a system that manages and collects neighboring rights for artists who participate in recorded performances.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for performing artists and musicians. If your work involves making recorded performances, you may qualify for the protections provided by this fund. It is built to support those whose creative output is captured in audio or video formats.
What you get
You get the collection of neighboring rights for your recorded performances. In Italy, these are referred to as diritti connessi. These rights ensure that when your recorded performances are used, you are able to receive the corresponding compensation. This system helps manage the financial interests tied to your recorded contributions.
What it costs you
Registration for artists is free. There are no costs to sign up for the scheme to ensure you can protect your work.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that this is a separate entity from SIAE. Many artists mistakenly believe that being registered with one organization covers all their needs. However, you must register here specifically to claim your performance rights for recordings. If you do not register with Nuovo IMAIE specifically, you might miss out on the rights associated with your recorded work even if you are registered elsewhere.
How to apply
- Verify that your work consists of recorded performances that qualify for neighboring rights.
- Check the official requirements for registration to ensure all your professional details are ready.
- Complete the registration process to ensure your performances are tracked.
- Monitor your status to ensure you are correctly receiving the rights for your recorded work.
