Benefits of being a Member of PAVRISK

  • PAVRISK membership enables individuals to fully enjoy the financial advantages granted by copyright laws, such as collective administration of rights instead of individual management. This includes receiving royalties for their work’s broadcast on various platforms like radio, TV, digital mediums, and public venues both domestically and internationally.
  • Membership in PAVRISK also grants access to a social and cultural fund, subject to the specific guidelines and procedures established for the fund.
  • Becoming a member of PAVRISK is essential for obtaining International Identification codes for both the member as an artist and their works (IPI and WID). This guarantees recognition of the member and their works worldwide, facilitating the receipt of royalties from international sources, simplifying the process significantly.
  • Membership in PAVRISK and the declaration of one’s work indicate an initial level of commitment and interest in the declared works. This membership and declaration serve as evidence of definitive ownership of the declared works in the event of a dispute.
  • Attending trainings, workshops and sensitization seminars, which PAVRISK organizes from time to time in cooperation with other stakeholders in the entertainment industry.
  • Priority access to personal development opportunities, as and when they arise.
  • Generally, and as per standard practice across the world, CMOs are not obligated to distribute to non-members – unless the CMO licensing regime in the country of operation allows for it. It is only legal that the CMO distributes to its registered members who have directly declared and or assigned (appointed) the respective collecting society to collectively manage the rights on their behalf. However, PAVRISK on a point of policy, has adopted to consider all rights holders whose works are active and have been exploited to participate in all its scientific distributions, whether registered members or not. Non-members however, will be considered at a higher premium of 50% of royalties due to them in regard to administrative costs deductible.
  • Further, PAVRISK membership guarantees the benefit of a share in the distribution of the Blank Media Levy proceeds.
