A bit about

The Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) collects and
distributes licence fees for the public performance and communication
(including broadcast) of its members’ musical works. Public performances of
music include music used in pubs, clubs, fitness centres, shops, cinemas,
festivals, whether performed live, on CDs or played on the radio or television.
Communication of music covers music used for music on hold, music accessed over
the internet or used by television or radio broadcasters.

The Australasian Mechanical Copyright
Owners Society (AMCOS) collects and distributes ‘mechanical’ royalties for
the reproduction of its members’ musical works for many different purposes.
These include the manufacture of CDs, music videos and DVDs, the sale of mobile
phone ringtones and digital downloads; the use of production music and the
making of radio and television programmes. Since 1997, APRA has managed the
day-to-day operations of the AMCOS business.

APRA’s and AMCOS’ joint objective is to secure the fairest and highest level of
payments for our members, provide the strongest defence possible of their
rights and the best customer service for both our members and our licensees.
