We are very grateful for the trust placed in us by all composers, lyricists, publishers and other collecting societies. In the coming years, we will ensure that you receive royalties for your music regularly and on time, and we will defend your interests in the Czech and European Parliament.

We thank all music users for the royalties you send us, which are an integral part of the income of the authors of your favourite songs. We will continue to act as a one-stop shop for all collecting societies in order to simplify licensing.

Thank you for your cooperation and respect for intellectual property. Thank you for helping to create an ecosystem called the creative industry!
