Communication to the Public covers needletime royalties for sound recordings played to the public other than by radio broadcast, including television simulcast, retail, hospitality and streaming platforms; SAMPRA's public materials do not disclose a further split of that line. Foreign income is royalties collected on SAMPRA's behalf by sister collective management organisations abroad under bilateral and reciprocal agreements. This is needletime (neighbouring) rights only, administered by SAMPRA, and does not cover SAMRO's performing rights or CAPASSO's mechanical rights.","unit":"percent","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
