Universal Royalty Exchange Inc. (URE) and IMBOKODO Rights Society (IMBOKODO) have formed a partnership to enable American artists to collect Neighboring Rights (Needletime Royalties) for their performances in South Africa, ensuring royalties for both South African and American performers.
Addressing Royalty Gaps
South Africa’s performance rights owners earn royalties for broadcasts and public performances. Despite the collection by SAMPRA, more than $300M remained undistributed to American artists. Imbokodo, now accredited by the CIPC (the South African Regulatory Agency), will handle these collections and distributions. Join us!
global partnership
The URE and IMBOKODO partnership aims to enhance relations between South African and American performers, fostering cultural enrichment and better artistic connections between American and South African artists.
