  • Australasian Performing Right Association APRA AMCOS is a music rights management organisation. They pay royalties to music creators when their music is played or copied, both locally and overseas. Over 111,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers appoint APRA AMCOS to look after certain rights on their behalf. This means organisations don’t have to contact individual music creators to legally use their music. They license organisations to play or copy music. If you’re a business or organisation you can buy a licence from APRA AMCOS to play, perform, copy, record or make available their music. They then pay the royalties to their members and overseas affiliated societies. APRA AMCOS advocates for members’ rights. From government submissions through to their awards program, they promote the importance of music creators’ rights to all levels of government, the media and the wider community. They represent your music globally. As an APRA AMCOS member, you enjoy global representation for your music rights. APRA AMCOS has agreements with similar organisations around the world. So when your music is used in another territory, their affiliates collect money on your behalf. Those affiliates then pay these royalties to APRA AMCOS, and they pay you.
