Call for proposal to develop a mobile application for music licensing
A brief overview:
The Uganda Performing Rights Society was founded in 1985 by authors (primarily musicians) to further the cause of copyright administration in Uganda. It is registered with the Registrar of Companies as a Company Limited by Guarantee with no share capital, which means that all of its members own it. The government recognizes UPRS as a collecting society, and it is a member of the Confederation of International Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC).
More information about us can be found at https://uprs.go.ug/.
Typically, UPRS does the following:
- Monitors when, where, and what members’ works are used.
- Negotiates tariffs and other conditions with commercial music users.
- licenses the use of protected works on behalf of its members and of other rights holders it represents.
- Collects the fees from users and distributes these to the rights holders whose works have been exploited.
Among the features that must be included in a mobile application are:
1. To collect information from the music user evaluation form.
2. Determine the fees payable by each user based on the tariff: https://uprs.go.ug/licensing-tariffs/
