What's in it for you?
- You receive income from the use of your work abroad
- Your rights are protected worldwide through an international network of partners
- This way, your work continues to create value for you even outside of Belgium
From international use to payment: here's how it works
- Your work is being used or sold abroad
- The local copyright collection society collects the royalties
- The royalties are forwarded to Sabam
- Sabam pays you your royalties
How is your copyright calculated?
The income you receive depends on:
- how your work is used in the country in question
- the rules and rates that apply there
- the information we receive from local copyright organizations
- your contribution to the work
Good to Know
- International payments are often made later because royalties are processed locally first
- Each country has its own rules, rates, and processing times
- We work with copyright organizations worldwide to track your royalties
