of the 2021-2022 fiscal year, between direct mandates, through agents, and foreign
collecting societies exceeds 170.000.

performers CMO in Italy, that negotiates and collects directly from Users neighbouring rights’ compensations.
A commitment to make the activities in favor of its performers more and
more efficient and transparent.
Both Performers and music Users are rewarding ITSRIGHT’s strategy, which
implements the change in the Italian law that allows Performers to manage their
neighbouring rights’ compensations independently from discographers.

confirmed the effectiveness of our strategy. Our commitment for the coming year
will be to make our services more and more efficient, to maximize the value of
our performers and producers catalogues among all music users. We will continue
to protect our performers so that they receive a fair remuneration for
streaming uses and at their side for the unblocking, after years, of the
collection of the Annual Supplementary Remuneration. It remains firm and
strengthens, in fact, our commitment to reaffirm the centrality of rights in
all forms, for the benefit of all those entitled” commented Gianluigi Chiodaroli,
