AGEDI has signed a bilateral reciprocal payment agreement with the Indian producers’ collecting society, Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL-India) for the management of the rights of independent companies represented by both societies in the two countries.
The Indian collecting society, funded back in 1941, gathers phonographic producers, managing on their behalf licenses in the spheres of public performance and broadcasting. It is a sucessful society which distributes the rights collected effectively, to a great extent thanks to the technological platform they use, with allows an efficient and rigurous management.
For the first time, AGEDI adds an Asian territory so those royalties generated by the use in India of recordings whose owners are AGEDI members who have mandated us to do so, will be paid to AGEDI by PPL-India for distribution to the appropriate AGEDI members. Likewise, royalties generated in Spain for the use of recordings owned by independent Indian phonogram producers will be distributed to their relevant owners through PPL-India.
AGEDI continues thriving to sign as many bilateral agreements as possible to manage the rights of AGEDI members in as many countries as possible. You can find more information about them here.
