Attention: Members On behalf of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, I would like to announce that our association is gradually succeeding to conclude direct license agreements with broadcasters, network operators and other users of music on behalf of our members. The first agreement with the South African Broadcast Corporation is almost concluded. This will be the first time in the history of this country that a broadcaster will be paying an independent association of record companies music (sound and videos) royalties as reported at our inaugural South African Indies workshop held at Parktonian on 27 August 2011. The purpose of these license agreements is to fulfil two of our main objectives listed as follows: Therefore, all members are invited to submit their companies’ music videos for use by the broadcasters. An urgent request has been received from the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) to submit music videos in the following genres: • Dance • House • Pop • Adult Contemporary • Afro Pop • Hip Hop • Kwaito The videos should be of broadcast quality and submitted on DV or Bita tapes – ensure that the video is profiled appropriately - Artist name, name of the song, name of the album, year of publishing and publisher. The Association of Independent Record Companies of South Africa is an association incorporated in terms of section 21 of the Companies Act. 1973. Its primary objective is to represent the economic interests of emerging and established independent record companies in South Africa in all aspects of the music industry and to promote independent record companies generally.
