IPRS to conduct workshop for music creators in Nagaland

The Indian Performing Right Society Limited (IPRS) has decided to organise a workshop on February 24 at Hotel Lake Shiloi, Dimapur, at 12 noon.

An update from IPRS informed that it is a government-authorised music copyright society representing over 10,000 authors, composers, and music publishers as its members. Through its outreach programme and knowledge workshop, IPRS would inform and educate songwriters, composers, and music makers from the region about music copyright and how to manage their rights as creators to garner the rightful revenues from their creations.

The workshop would feature presentations and discussions on topics such as copyright in music, how to manage rights and earn royalties, role and relevance of music copyright societies like IPRS in today’s burgeoning music industry.

IPRS CEO, Rakesh Nigam, said, “Music is in the air in the northeast states of India with a vast pool of incredible talent. We are thrilled to be in Dimapur to meet the music creators and independent artists from the state and surrounding regions to educate them on various aspects of the music industry beyond creation related to music copyright, royalties and managing creator's rights. This is an extension of the IPRS’s knowledge programme ‘Learn & Earn’ reaching out to music makers across the country.”

It mentioned that IPRS, as a copyright society representing the community of music creators, has been relentlessly working towards educating those behind the music on matters related to the rights of creators and lending a voice to spread awareness on fair pay and fair play of music.
