Music Rights Malaysia Berhad is a non-profit organisation and the sole licensing designated by the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) an agency under the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, Co-operative and Consumerism (MTDCC) to carry out collective music licence issuance and fee collection activities in Malaysia effective 1st January 2017. We exist to simplify the music licensing process, offering a single music licence that covers both the copyright on the music (owned by the songwriter) and the recording (owned by the record company/artist). MRM provides efficient single music licences to music users providing legal access to use music in all its various form. We collect licence income and distribute this income as royalties to our members. This enables the creation of more music for you to enjoy.
- We help music creators get paid for their work and give music users an easy way to legally play and copy music.
- Royalties keep the music coming and ensure the industry's future.
- Music can be an extremely effective tool for your business, it's creating the right ambience, attracting and keeping the customers and so much more.
- We licence organizations to play, perform, copy, record or make available our members' music.
- Without us businesses would have to contact thousands of songwriters, composers and music publishers directly to obtain their permission to use their music. Likewise, songwriters, composers and music publishers would have to deal with thousands of requests from music users. Through licensing, we make this process simple and straightforward for both parties.
- We are committed to protecting the value of music and ensuring our members are represented. It's why we are fighting music piracy and tackling the changes that digital era has brought to the industry.
