Royalty for foreign artists

International representation

BONO is part of a worldwide network of collective management organizations (CMO’s), representing and collaborating with more than 40 organizations abroad. Together we ensure the collection and distribution of royalties to visual artists world-wide.

As part of our collective management of rights, BONO is approved by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and the Patent Office to enter into agreements, collect and distribute also on behalf of non-members in several areas. These royalty- and licensing schemes includes Extended Collective Licensing, Artist’s Resale Right and Private Copy Compensation.

As a result of the above, BONO enters into agreements, licenses and collects royalty for foreign visual artists in Norway. The royalty BONO collects is distributed semi-annually to the relevant foreign organizations, who then ensures that the royalty is paid to the correct artist or rightsholder.
