SABAM (Société d'Auteurs Belge – Belgische Auteurs Maatschappij)

SABAM is the unified Belgian association for authors, composers, and publishers. It is a multidisciplinary society, managing the copyrights for creators across music, literature, theatre, audiovisual, and visual arts. For its music members, SABAM administers both performing rights and mechanical rights. Its comprehensive approach to rights management makes it the central point of contact for licensing creative works in Belgium and a key defender of authors' rights in the country.
