SACEM (Société des Auteurs, Compositeurs et Éditeurs de Musique)

SACEM (Société des Auteurs, Compositeurs et Éditeurs de Musique) is a French organization that manages music rights. It collects royalties on behalf of creators—composers, songwriters, and publishers—when their music is played publicly, broadcast, or used commercially. These royalties are then distributed to the rights holders, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their work. SACEM also supports and promotes music creation within France, helping sustain the livelihoods of artists and encouraging cultural development.
