Copyright in musical works is crucial for protecting the rights of creators and preserving the integrity of their compositions. It incentivizes innovation, creativity, and cultural expression in the music industry by granting creators exclusive rights to control the use and distribution of their works. Copyright also drives revenue generation, investment, and job creation within the music ecosystem. Furthermore, it promotes cultural heritage, preserves musical traditions, and fosters cross-cultural exchange. However, challenges such as online piracy and copyright infringement threaten the livelihoods of musicians and undermine the integrity of the industry. To address these challenges, stakeholders must collaborate to strengthen copyright enforcement mechanisms and raise awareness of intellectual property rights.

Therefore, if you incorporate music into your events, workplaces, establishments, or any other commercial endeavours, kindly ensure to obtain the necessary authorization from ECCO.
