TikTok recently announced a multi-year licensing agreement with the Southern African Music Rights Organisation and Composers Authors and Publishers Association.
The deal ensures the talented songwriters, composers and music publishers the organisations represent will receive royalty payments when their music is used on the platform. Through CAPASSO’s existing partnerships, the agreement will cover 58 territories across the African continent, covering repertoire belonging to 21 separate collective management organisations. CAPASSO will administer the agreement on behalf of thousands of their members and affiliate members.
