Distribution of remuneration

Kopinor enters into agreements on behalf of Norwegian and foreign rightsholders. After deduction of management fees, all collected remuneration is paid out to the rightsholders.

The remuneration is distributed and paid out according to internal rules set by the Council of Representatives. The rules differentiate between three types of remuneration:

1. Remuneration to Norwegian rightsholders, individual data

When the rightsholder is identified, the remuneration will be distributed individually by Kopinor. This includes remuneration from public exams, audio books, National library, Bolk and Skaff, and some of the remuneration from abroad.

When rightsholders are not identified, the remuneration will be distributed to Kopinor's member organisations based on distribution agreements.
