For culture and creativity,
at your fingertips

Auvibel is the copyright management organisation that collects and distributes the private copying remuneration in Belgium.

Private copying is an exception to copyright law that allows a natural person to copy protected works for private use – with the exception of sheet music – without the prior consent of authors, performing artists, producers or publishers.

In return, a remuneration is due to the rights holders who are deprived of the right to authorise or prohibit the copying of their works because of the exception. Auvibel collects that remuneration for private copying and distributes it to the final rights holders, through its member management companies. As such, the remuneration contributes to supporting culture and creativity.
