Thank you so much to NORMA (the Dutch CMO for AV performers) for giving us a fantastic demonstration of your local system and processes. Learning how other collecting societies work is a great way to help us improve how we support our members.
We have just completed our Summer Distribution of 2025 and we are very excited to have sent out more than £5.1 million to over 11,000 BECS members all over the world!
We are finalising all the details for our Summer Distribution of 2025 and we don't want any payments to be delayed reaching our members so if your details have changed please let us know asap:
The CMS Committee has made recommendations that will benefit AV performers: implementing the Beijing Treaty, introducing a levy on streamers to support British production & abandoning the proposed copyright exception for AI training. Now government must act committees.parliament.uk/committee/37...
Performers and creators have the right to decide whether or not their work is used by AI companies and to be paid fairly when it is. Consultation responses are in. The government must listen to our world leading creative industries and be at the forefront of fair AI regulation. #MakeItFair
