3.  Collective management revolutionized the need for MUSIC USERS
to have to seek permission to use, negotiate and pay for a license
on a PAY ASYOU GO basis.
 CMOs became the LIASON between the MUSIC CREATORS (
rights holders) and the MUSIC USER allowing the user to benefit
from a blanket license fee on an annual basis (as opposed to PAYG)
which is cost effective and more efficient.
 Collective management allows rights holders to benefit from a
perspective of time and efficiency and they can create, while their
works continue to generate revenue for them through various
uses; Broadcasting, communication to the public/performances in
public places, digital distribution-downloading / streaming, blank
media levies etc.

Organisation (CMO) licensed by the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) to
represent performers in sound recordings and audiovisual works.

2009.

sound recordings and audio-visual works. In respect to any
exploitation of works
 PRISK collects on behalf of its members, equitable
remuneration from users of sound recordings and audiovisual
works for purposes of broadcasting or other communication to
the public. PRISK is also mandated to enter into agreements
with manufacturers and importers of any audio visual recording
equipment and blank media intended for recording and collect
all royalties levied in respect to the royalties payable to the
