Asociación Peruana de Autores y Compositores (APDAYC) is the performing rights organization (PRO) in Peru. It licenses the public performance and broadcast of musical works and collects performance royalties for songwriters, composers, and music publishers when their music is played on radio and television, streamed, or performed in public across Peru. Through reciprocal agreements with PROs worldwide, APDAYC also collects on behalf of international writers whose works are used in Peru.

Collect everywhere

One song. Collected worldwide. Paid to you.

Your music earns through two layers. The first is distribution — the recording's streaming and download royalties, paid directly by the platforms everywhere they play it: one delivery, collected worldwide, no society involved. The second is society collections, and that's what this map shows — every territory has its own societies gathering what's earned there: performance and mechanical on the composition, plus neighbouring rights on the recording. The highlighted territories are where Notes is registered and collecting now; Notes reconciles both layers and pays it to you, with no percentage taken — and more light up as we sign them.

The map shades the society-collected layer — the part that differs by territory. Master recordings are paid worldwide through distribution, so they sit outside the map.
