The playing field
Collecting societies worldwide strongly encourage the recovery and distribution of profits from retransmission, publication and other funds. Every organization maintains its own charter, and author's rights legislation differs from country to country. Still, certainly their activities do overlap. Rights Asset Management - recording broadcasts and identifying titles and rights - is up there with the core tasks of every random collecting society.
Administrating and distributing payments is an elaborate, time-consuming and costly procedure. Still, differences between internal and external issuing of rules lead to most organizations hanging on to their own software for this process. CBIRDS offers a standard solution for broadcast-encoding, enabling you to cut costs and save time. Also it improves the quality of labor due to close cooperation, shared buying and data-exchange.
