Do you know the difference between PPL and PRS? Does songwriting have a bearing on neighbouring rights? What exactly are neighbouring rights and which countries pay it? Are you a self-releasing artist, and want to know how to maximise your neighbouring rights income? These are just some of the questions that will be answered in depth by neighbouring rights and publishing experts.

So, who is entitled to income derived from neighbouring or related rights when music is embedded into a film that is theatrically exhibited or in a TV programme that is broadcast to the public or used in other audio-visual works?

How do those entitled to income from neighbouring or related rights ensure that their interest is correctly registered and that they receive the income that is due when the audio-visual work is broadcast or shown theatrically. The aim of this session is to outline the principles and practice applicable to neighbouring or related rights payments when either bespoke music is written specifically or existing music is licensed for use in film and TV.

An opportunity to have one on one discussions with IAFAR Board members. Knowledge is power, but sometimes you need a bit more detail specific to your situation. In the one-on-one sessions you can ask us anything about your music and your Neighbouring Rights.

IAFAR is excited to invite all members to its 4th Annual AGM. This year we will be expanding our board and looking to develop a fixed global structure to our organization. We are excited to present all our accomplishments over this past year.  We will also be developing a more concrete global strategy which we will present to our membership.

This discussion details the different ways music creators get paid and from whom (e.g., PROs vs. CMOs; etc.) and how it is different in the U.S. from the rest of the world. This panel will also take a deep dive into how America keeps pace with changes overseas, identifying what roadblocks lie ahead and why they matter.  This forum explores US copyright reform including predictions for a true neighboring right in sound recording via the American Music Fairness Act and provides guidance to music creators seeking to maximize audiovisual rights which are available to them.
