International Leadership

BMI is an acknowledged leader in the international copyright community.

Today’s music marketplace is truly global and BMI is the acknowledged leader in developing cutting-edge international royalty accounting and collection systems. BMI was the prime developer for digital tools now employed worldwide by the international organization representing creative professionals, CISAC.

Close collaboration between BMI and creators’ organizations in Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the U.K. spawned FastTrack, the world’s largest technical alliance, jointly representing well over 80% of the world’s music. When your music is played overseas, the FastTrack system assures rapid, accurate accounting for your foreign royalties.

BMI’s reciprocal agreements with more than 70 international copyright organizations bring in more that $200 million annually for BMI’s U.S. songwriters and composers. Click here for a complete list of BMI’s global partners.
