Creator royalties have reached a new record. The latest figures from CISAC show global music royalty collections reached €15.5BN in 2025. This growth demonstrates the vital role of collective licensing in delivering value for creators by evolving to keep pace with technological change. As AI continues to advance, songwriters and composers must not be left behind. We urge governments across the globe to secure the fundamental principles of copyright and establish robust transparency and accountability measures, ensuring the intrinsic value of human creativity is protected.
