Collecting societies
IMPALA’s committee meets regularly to promote best practices by collecting societies.
The latest version of our code of conduct, updated July 2022, is available on demand from members. It is currently being redrafted.
Along with many others in the sector, we also participate in meetings of IFPI’s performance rights group (known as PRC meetings), and also coordinate with WIN.
IMPALA is also a member of the VPL distribution committee for the MTV agreement for independent video usage. This agreement is no longer operational, but the committee continues its work until all aspects and distributions are finalised.
On top of this, we produce regular reports for PPL with AIM summarising the IMPALA projects supported by PPL via its annual donation to AIM. This is the kind of model we would like to see in other collecting societies.
To hear more about IMPALA’s priorities for collecting societies, and our position on related topics such as why voting rights need caps, why we risk losing 125m€ a year to the USA, how should unclaimed monies be allocated, etc, check out our 20 Minutes With podcast with Jonas Sojström – owner and CEO of Playground Music Scandinavia AB.
