Copyright fees are collected from music in provision of the "Tariffs". After submission of returns from users, data is analysed and selected for the purpose of distribution exercises on the system. The allocation of shares is determined by the Copyright Societies Information System (CoSIS.NET). Payment of royalties after collections from music users are effected to local owners of copyright and to foreign owners through sister-Collective Management Organisations (CMOs). The methodologies to be used for distribution exercises per categories are determined by the Distribution Rules.
Payments of royalties are effected to local owners of copyright at least twice a year and at least once a year for foreign ones.
