Areas of distribution via NCB
Payments are made to Nordic distributors who have a standard contract with NCB. Producers report the actual number of copies sold per semester in arrears. This means that sales from the first half of the year are invoiced and paid in the second half.
NCB disburses payments for international use through other Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) outside Denmark and the Nordic countries (beyond NCB's territory). NCB also collects payments for streams on YouTube in the US through various partners.
Payments for larger international/European distributors who prefer a common European agreement (CLA agreement) to report all sales to one CMO throughout Europe. NCB receives sales reports via other societies that holds CLA agreements for distributors/labels such as Warner, Sony, and Universal.
Payments to larger national European distributors who prefer a common European agreement (CLA agreement) to report all sales to one CMO throughout Europe. NCB receives sales reports via the CMO that holds CLA agreements for relevant producers/labels, including Warner, Sony, and Universal.
If you want to release music on a physical medium and do not have a standard contract, you must register as a distributor on NCB's website. Before each release, you need to obtain NCB's permission and register the release on their website. As a distributor, you will be charged based on the number of copies produced.
