What are mechanical reproduction royalties?

Mechanical reproduction royalties are the royalties that a producer pays to use musical works on a sound carrier (CD, DVD,...). Sabam then distributes these royalties among the rightholders of those musical works, according to the royalty distribution they agreed upon.

Want to know more about these royalties? Be sure to take a look at our brochure for music on a sound carrier (FR - NL).
