Hot take
ARTISJUS is Hungary’s primary collective management organization for composers, songwriters, lyricists, authors, and music publishers, with a history dating back to 1907. As a non-profit PRO, it handles the licensing of public performances, collection, and distribution of royalties for its members, and takes legal action against copyright infringement. ARTISJUS is known for its robust local presence and is a key CISAC member, ensuring that Hungarian creators’ works are protected and remunerated both domestically and abroad. On the downside, like many legacy PROs, ARTISJUS can feel bureaucratic and slow to adapt to the digital-first ecosystem, which can frustrate younger or independent creators. Still, for those operating in, or licensing works for, Hungary, ARTISJUS provides essential infrastructure and advocacy for copyright holders.
