We are prepared to license any kind of music use, as long as the rights holders receive fair compensation. Our focus is to ensure efficient working procedures for rights holders, customers and for our administration. This efficiency results in very low administration costs – among the lowest in the world. This, in turn, of course means more money for our members and for foreign rights holders.

We develop and implement efficient online systems in-house for fast and service-minded handling of customers as well as members. All systems have been developed by KODA – most of them in collaboration with our Norwegian sister society, TONO.

Online Systems for our Customers

We have been licensing Internet music use with great efficiency since 1996. Our IT Development Department supplies us with online systems for our customers. As a result we have implemented an online licensing shop where customers can easily sign up for the most common Internet music usages.

Online Systems for our Members

All desired services are available online – for publishers, composers and songwriters alike. All these online systems have been developed in-house by our own IT staff.

MyKODA is an online members’ system where any new song can be registered as well as all concerts. The system also provides confidential royalty statements. Upon signing a contract with a composer/ songwriter, music publishers can simply report all new songs online at MyKODA. It is also possible to register entire song catalogues in various formats.

Online services for composers, songwriters and music publishers

• Composers, songwriters and music publishers can register any new song directly at www.koda.dk in the MyKODA service and see their own archive of registered songs.
• Upon signing a contract with a composer/songwriter, music publishers simply report all new songs electronically at MyKODA. The registration of entire song catalogues in various formats is also an option.
• When a rights holder transfers his/her claims to a music publisher, the publisher can see the account information of the rights holder in MyKODA.
