ABOUT

Song Writer’s Association is an Indian not-for-profit performance-rights organization (PRO) that protects its members' musical copyrights by monitoring public performances of their music, whether via a broadcast or live performance, and compensating them accordingly

​

This Organization collects licensing fees from users of music created by the members, then distributes them back to its members as royalties 

​

In effect, the arrangement is the product of a compromise: when a song is played, the user does not have to pay the copyright holder directly, nor does the music creator have to bill a radio station for use of a song
