There are three types of music rights: BUMA for Performance rights, STEMRA for Mechanical rights and SENA for Neighboring rights. More

In 1912, the Copyright Act 1912 was passed. This law regulated the rights for the music artists

BUMA (Bureau for Music Authors) was the first organization to be established. That was in 1913. It regulated the so-called performance rights. An artist performed a song in a concert or performance and BUMA ensured that a sum of money was collected for the makers of the song (copyright).

STEMRA (Foundation for the Exploitation of Mechanical Reproduction Rights for Authors) was founded in 1936 as a division of BUMA. They regulate the Mechanical rights. These are the rights to records, CDs, etc.

SENA (Foundation for Exploitation of Neighboring Rights) dates from 1993 as a result of the Neighboring Rights Act. She arranges the music rights for playing music in schools, hospitals, community centers, sports canteens, etc.

For LastDodo, only STEMRA applies.
