COPYRIGHT AND COLLECTING ROYALTIES

FPRA administers the public performance and communication right in our members' musical works.

We do this by collecting royalties for the performance and communication of music from a number of sources. We enter licence agreements with radio and television stations, hotels, resorts, cinemas, live concert promoters, retail outlets and other businesses that provide music for their customers either through a music on hold system or by playing music.

In return for the right to perform or communicate music, these clients pay us a licence fee. To find out more about the licences we offer, go to the music users section of our website.

ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ROYALTIES

In order to work out how royalties should be allocated, FPRA needs to monitor what music is being performed or communicated, and how often. As part of their licence agreements, our clients provide detailed reports of their music use, either by keeping full records or by taking part in a survey system when required. The aim is to obtain an accurate picture of their music use, with as low administrative overhead costs to all parties.

Existing writer members can use the following forms to register their new works with FPRA or to make royalty claims for live performances of their work which take place within Fiji or overseas.

• Works Registration Form
• Live Performance Return
• Overseas Live Performance Return
