Sweden's PRO + mechanical society offers free membership and pays out eight times a year, alternating between digital and traditional distributions. Alongside PRS and GEMA, it jointly owns ICE Services — the platform handles much of Europe's digital licensing.
What STIM collects
Performance royalties are collected by a performing rights organization whenever a composition plays publicly, including on radio, television, a stream, or at a live venue.
In Sweden, STIM collects public performance, mechanicals — Sweden. STIM was established in 1923 and reports approximately 100,000 members.
Joining STIM
Joining cost: Free. Royalties are distributed eight times a year, alternating digital and traditional sources. You need an IPI number — the global identifier connecting a writer with their works, without which registrations cannot be matched to payments.
Register directly at STIM.
Where Davincii fits
Davincii doesn't file with STIM directly. Your songs reach it through the reciprocal agreements of the societies we file with, and its payments come back to us the same way.
