Hot take
GRAMEX (Gramophone Performers' Rights Association) is Finland's dedicated collective management organization for neighboring rights, ensuring that performers and producers of recorded music are fairly compensated for their work. Established as a non-profit, GRAMEX stands out for its strong transparency efforts, including annual public reports and a digital publication that keeps rights holders informed. The organization operates internationally with agreements in over 30 countries, simplifying royalty collection and distribution for Finnish music professionals. Still, as with many collecting societies, navigating its multi-tier governance structure and bureaucratic processes can be complex for newcomers, and some artists may wish for more direct or flexible digital interfaces. Nonetheless, GRAMEX remains a cornerstone for neighboring rights in Finland, trusted by musicians and producers alike for its responsible, artist-centric approach.
