What does CISAC do?
We are the umbrella body for collective management organisations (CMOs, also known as authors’ societies) around the world.
We represent 227 such organisations from 120 countries as our members. Trough these members, we are the voice of more than three million creators from all artistic fields including music, audiovisual and visual art. We work closely with creators to facilitate relationships with governments to promote artists’ interests. We also engage in a range of other activities and services that we provide to our members.
Our key mission is to promote the value of copyright and creative works, and create an environment that allows our members to collect sufficient royalties on behalf of the creators they represent.
What type of relationship do you have with your members and industry?
We do a lot of lobbying and public relations on behalf of our member organisations and represent the interests of creators in court proceedings.
Te creators themselves are very active within CISAC. We have international councils of creators, each serving a different category of copyright (music, audiovisual and visual arts). Tese councils meet regularly to discuss issues specific to their respective communities.
Our president is French electronic music artist Jean Michel
