Public spaces

Is your work reaching audiences in cafés, restaurants, hotels or other public venues? Or is a radio or television programme you contributed to being broadcast there? That use can also generate income for you.

 

What's in it for you?
  • You’ll receive compensation when your work is used outside of traditional broadcasts
  • We collect royalties from cafes, restaurants, hotels, and other public venues
  • Indirect use (such as TV screens playing in the background or radio in a hospitality establishment) also counts

From use to payment: here's how it works
  1. Your work is displayed or played in a public space
  2. Cafés, restaurants, hotels, and other public venues pay a fee for that use
  3. We collect those fees
  4. We calculate your share based on the use of your work.
  5. You will receive the royalties to which you are entitled
How is your reimbursement calculated?

Your reimbursement depends on:

  • the total amount of compensation available for use in public spaces
  • how often radio and audiovisual works are broadcast
  • the data we receive from radio and television broadcasters
  • the proportion of your work in the total usage
  • your share of the work
