I only play foreign music in my business. Why do I receive an invoice from Unisono?

Unisono’s aim is to grant licences for the repertoire:

  • of the authors, represented by Sabam;
  • of the performing artists, represented by PlayRight;
  • and of the music producers, represented by Simim.

These three organisations represent the repertoires of their members and have concluded agreements with sister organisations abroad to also represent the rights of their members, and vice versa. This means that Unisono must also act on behalf of the members of other management organisations abroad. Unisono therefore does not only represent the repertoire of its Belgian members.

Playing foreign music in your business does not mean you don’t have to pay your Unisono invoice.
