APRA AMCOS

APRA AMCOS is an Australian organization that represents music creators, including songwriters, composers, and music publishers. It manages copyright for musical works, ensuring that creators receive royalties when their music is played, broadcast, or used commercially. APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) focuses on performance rights, while AMCOS (Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society) deals with reproduction rights. Together, they protect the interests of musicians and help ensure they are compensated fairly for their creative efforts, supporting the broader music industry.
