COSBOTS Reviews And Implements New Tariffs For Users :: Mmegi Online

The Copyright Society of Botswana is pleased to announce that the rate card for music tariffs, which has been under review have been approved by the regulator and COSBOTS will be implementing the same and applying the new rates for licensing purposes.

Given the vagaries of the economy over the last few years, and the commercial “headwinds” being experienced by both domestic and international markets, together with continuous engagement with all our stakeholders and appreciating their trading challenge, we saw the need to consider our position on tariffs.

With the aforesaid in mind, a process to review tariffs was set in motion that enabled COSBOTS, with the intervention of the Companies and Intellectual Property Authority (CIPA), to look into what would be equitable pricing for the usage of musical works that will also enable members to be fairly compensated for their works.
