SCAPR

SCAPR is a not-for-profit organisation based in Brussels, Belgium. Operating as an international platform for the development of the practical cooperation between performers’ collective management organisations (CMOs), we strive to improve the exchange of data and performers’ rights payments across borders. We represent 60 CMOs from 45 countries. Our primary aim is to improve the efficiency of management of rights and the conclusion of bilateral agreements. SCAPR develops strategies, formats and administrative systems in relation to collecting and distributing payments to performers’. We also develop and manage databases and other technical systems housing information on performers and their performances for a more efficient international distribution of the collected payments. SCAPR provides also assistance for the exchange of information between CMOs via administrative procedures, legal proceedings/arbitrations, collecting procedures, publication of tariffs and distribution schemes. All these being for the ultimate benefit of the performers. For more information, please visit our website.
