About APRA|AMCOS
APRA was the first copyright royalty collection agency set up in NZ (it
collects royalties for composers, lyricists and music publishers). They
ensure that licences for the public performance of music are easily
obtainable and reasonable (and more importantly paid), as well as
ensuring that writers and publishers are paid their royalties. But if
you would like some of these royalties then you need to become a member.

The Australasian Performing Right Association Limited (APRA) was
established in 1926 to administer the performing and communication
rights of composers, songwriters and music publishers in Australia and
New Zealand. Public performances of music include music used in pubs,
clubs, fitness centres, shops, cinemas, festivals, whether performed
live, on CDs or played on the radio or television. Communication of
music covers music used for music on hold, music accessed over the
internet or used by television or radio broadcasters.

The Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS)
collects and distributes ‘mechanical’ royalties for the reproduction of
its members’ musical works for many different purposes. These include
the manufacture of CDs, music videos and DVDs, the sale of mobile phone
ringtones and digital downloads the use of production music and the
making of radio and television programmes. Since 1997, APRA has managed
the day-to-day operations of the AMCOS business.

Becoming an APRA and/or AMCOS member is easy and membership is free.
