When to declare your catalogue?

In the "Search" area of the Katalegale website, set the following filter: registration filters, ownership = owner.

You can also export the search results in xls format.

In the "Search" area of Katalegale you can:

• Make changes to existing publications and recordings by entering the unit to be modified using the pencil icon to the left of the title.
• Manage massive changes by applying the same condition to a set of recordings resulting from the search (max 1,000) by clicking on the "Mod Massive" function at the bottom of the page. For more than 1,000 recordings, click on "Mod Massive" and upload the list of Recording IDs to be modified.

If you sell or transfer ownership of a music catalogue, you can transfer the data to the acquiring producer by modifying the declared catalogue.

ID automatically assigned by SCF to each musical registration declared within katalegale. You can retrieve it in the "Search" area of the platform and view it both in the search results and in the xls export file.

The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is the international system for identifying sound recordings and music videos. Each ISRC is a unique and permanent identifier and it is recommended to include it in every music product and in digital fingerprints.

The ISRC allows for the automatic identification of recordings for royalty payments. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) recommends that all music producers use the ISRC.

How to obtain the ISRC code from FIMI.

The ISRC system is the key to collecting royalties from the use of music recordings in the digital age:

Yes, there is no fee to join SCF. SCF will only apply its commissions on the rights that are actually distributed.

Yes, you can be a member of both SIAE and SCF because they collect different royalties.

Yes, the mandate for the management of neighbouring rights can be granted by both companies and individuals, as long as they are the original or derivative owners (e.g. licence) of the neighbouring rights covered by the mandate.

Yes, you can join two collecting societies only if the catalogue or rights assigned to each collecting society are different.

It is necessary to sign the mandate contract accompanied by all the required documents.

The collection of related rights starts from the date of the assignment of the mandate to SCF.

Yes, based on the reciprocity agreements signed with the counterpart collecting societies present all over the world.

The distribution criteria are defined in the "internal regulations on the conferral of the mandate and the distribution of rights".
