SACEM (Société des Auteurs, Composateurs et Éditeurs de Musique)

As one of the world's oldest and most influential Performing Rights Organizations, SACEM has been protecting the rights of creators since 1851. This French professional association represents songwriters, composers, and music publishers. SACEM's primary role is to collect royalty payments by licensing the public use of its members' musical works and to distribute these royalties accurately. It has a vast global reach through reciprocal agreements and is a leading advocate for authors' rights on both the national and international stages.
