GEMA

GEMA (Gesellschaft für Música) is a German organization that manages the rights of music creators, such as composers and lyricists. It ensures that these artists receive fair compensation when their music is played publicly, like on radio, TV, concerts, or in clubs. GEMA collects licensing fees from those who want to use copyrighted music and then distributes the earnings to the original creators. This helps support the ongoing work of musicians and protects their intellectual property rights, maintaining a fair system for both artists and businesses that use music.
