All works of this production have already been submitted to SUISA with the names of all rights holders.
The production does not contain any musical work by an author who was no longer a member of the band at the time of production.
The production does not contain any published music.

Definition of the term "band":

 

These are only persons

  • who form the said band,
  • are presented to the public as such and
  • are known as such.

 

No own production

Thank you for your information.


As you have answered NO to at least one of the previous questions, this is not an own production according to our definition.

We therefore ask you to use this form to register your new sound carrier.

Important information on registration
  • This registration must be received by SUISA at least 10 days prior to the production of the sound recording.
     
  • Each musical work must be entered individually in the registration form, with the full title and the surnames and first names of all authors. Works with pseudonyms will not be accepted!
  • Before the form is submitted to SUISA, it must be signed by all SUISA members involved.

In order for SUISA to process a sound recording application as an own production, all works used on the sound recording must be original compositions and must have been registered in advance (with SUISA). SUISA reserves the right to carry out all necessary checks. If SUISA determines that it is not an own production as defined and one or more of the above-mentioned requirements are not met, the remuneration shall automatically be invoiced for all works used on the sound recording in accordance with the PI Tariff.
