The Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) is set to attend the Asia Music Summit in Kohima from February 1st to 3rd, 2024. The event aims to educate and empower musicians from the Northeast on copyright, royalties, and the role of music copyright societies in safeguarding creators’ rights. Music copyright protects the intellectual property of creators, ensuring they receive recognition and compensation for their work. IPRS acts as custodians of creators’ rights, managing and licensing their music to ensure fair compensation. By joining a copyright society, music creators gain a powerful ally in navigating the complexities of the music industry.
Royalties serve as a consistent source of income for creators, and IPRS actively collects and distributes them on behalf of its members. As part of the Asia Music Summit, IPRS is hosting an insightful workshop aimed at demystifying music copyright, explaining the role of IPRS, managing rights as a creator, and their right to royalties. Additionally, IPRS is organizing an exclusive enrolment boot camp for independent artists, songwriters, and composers, offering a one-time free membership offer.
Commenting on this, the popular Indie Rock Band Trans Effect member ImnamaongImchen emphasizes the importance of understanding and protecting rights in the music business, highlighting the Asia Music Summit as a valuable forum for networking and knowledge.
