Home - National Treatment of Music Creators For 75 years a key principle in global trade has been that a nation should provide foreign entities the same benefits and protections as it would its own citizens­. In music, that means whatever rights regime a country gives to creators, the principle of what is known as National Treatment should apply those rights to all, regardless of nationality. For too long several countries in Europe have ignored this principle and discriminated against foreign music creators based solely on their country of origin. That is inherently wrong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1591725225845-WCPT9B5QRV3W598OT5KO/Outlined+map+of+the+United+Kingdom+with+dollar+sign+overlay Home There is a growing recognition that national treatment should be the global standard when it comes to music creators. The cause for fairness for music creators received a boost in 2020 when the European Court of Justice mandated that members of the European Union apply the principle of national treatment and treat music creators equally regardless of their nationality. Yet, even with that decision, countries such as France are resisting its implementation and seeking to undermine it. The principle of National Treatment must be upheld. Without it, the way artists of different nationalities are treated borders on the absurd. For example, because the United Kingdom doesn’t recognize national treatment, if a band has members from both the United Kingdom and United States, only the U.K. artists get paid directly from the U.K. collective when their music is played on U.K. radio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1591757901418-5MBKLX3XWV5M2XVOMKVR/%24330+million+in+lost+royalties Home - What’s at Stake? Unfair treatment of music creators based solely on their nationality costs them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost royalties every year. For American creators, that amounts to more than $300 million in global losses a year. Given the devastating impact the pandemic has had on the music community it’s more important than ever for artists and other music creators around the globe need to be paid for their work. Discrimination of any kind must not be tolerated. All music creators, regardless of nationality, should receive fair compensation for their work. https://www.fairtradeofmusic.com/partners daily 0.75 2020-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1593016397647-DQQKR757CI2CVFK54O2V/Fair+Trade+Music+International+logo Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592970841062-KC8PD3T55MBQR9BA5TAT/SoundExchange.jpg Partners SoundExchange https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592970872449-J9IHNHJNS191X7EQLMVZ/A2IM.jpg Partners American Association of Independent Music https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592970929128-OHKSMDHINPL41GDIM5CL/American+Federation+of+Musicians.jpg Partners American Federation of Musicians https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600175004189-MYO7W334IGJZR0Y0HNUO/FTOM+Partner+Logos.png Partners Artist Rights Alliance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600173038955-NXOCGKBVFXA7CSMOTBL9/BMACLogo_Yellow.JPG Partners Black Music Action Coalition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600175387426-3G0MUR5HEF42JGF0ZTZX/FTOM+Partner+Logos+%283%29.png Partners Featured Artists Coalition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592970963325-WTU1RBU4T0FOX5W5GPVJ/Future+of+Music+Coalition.jpg Partners Future of Music Coalition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592971032387-DUTSVJPII7Q2LHLJH5WP/Gospel+Music+Association.jpg Partners Gospel Music Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600175264086-LVE9VUZKW51S6CGJZAZR/FTOM+Partner+Logos+%281%29.png Partners Independent Alliance for Artists Rights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600178601970-2YI5JP3R0ZQ2T4PBQXUL/FTOM+Partner+Logos+%285%29.png Partners International Federation of Musicians https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600179056943-JVRC6X75RHWBUL8LNMRH/FTOM+Partner+Logos+%286%29.png Partners International Music Managers Forum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600178162530-BEHN5IGB9JV2A9KD5R49/FTOM+Partner+Logos+%284%29.png Partners Kobalt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592971070135-1MR4RO3OG3T1EM2JRUFL/Music+Artists+Coalition.jpg Partners Music Artists Coalition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1593015053196-KMYL16QEHDB2W6EJ0B9U/Music+Business+Association+logo.jpg Partners Music Business Association logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592971121770-8073WQIAUP3KB497JJO2/Music+Managers+Forum+US.jpg Partners Music Managers Forum U.S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600174869860-LDS3QKB6AGBDGLYPUYGJ/MMF_UK.png Partners Music Managers Forum UK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1600179455041-8ZEZS2EH6A7CF4BT323Z/FTOM+Partner+Logos+%287%29.png Partners Musicians' Union https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592971165271-ADT3372QWW0BHEWI0S7J/Recording+Academy.jpg Partners Recording Academy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592971200944-WCYPG4TZ61036ZG7N00K/SAG-AFTRA.jpg Partners Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5a54ce2917b11bf174b56/1592971215715-92ZVFSR9OXEKJMPEO48F/music+FIRST.jpg Partners Music First https://www.fairtradeofmusic.com/faqs daily 0.75 2020-06-17 https://www.fairtradeofmusic.com/newslinks daily 0.75 2020-09-15 https://www.fairtradeofmusic.com/resources daily 0.75 2020-09-25
