SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers)

SESAC is the third major U.S. Performing Rights Organization, distinct from its larger counterparts as a for-profit company. It operates on an invitation-only basis, curating a selective but highly successful roster of songwriters and publishers. In addition to collecting performance royalties, SESAC has expanded to offer a suite of services through its affiliated companies, including the administration of mechanical rights. Its focused approach and broad service offerings make it a significant player in the U.S. copyright and licensing ecosystem.
