SACEM

France's PRO + mechanical society (with subsidiary SDRM handling mechanicals operationally). Oldest PRO in the world. Strong international presence — covers a number of African and Middle Eastern territories via reciprocal.

What SACEM collects

A performing rights organization collects performance royalties — money generated when a composition is played publicly, whether that's radio, television, a live venue, or a stream.

SACEM operates in France and collects public performance, mechanicals — France. It was founded in 1851 and reports roughly 195,000 members.

Joining SACEM

Joining cost: €224 + €133/year ongoing. Royalties are distributed quarterly + monthly digital. An IPI number is required — that's the global identifier that ties a writer to their works, and without one your registrations can't be matched to payments.
