UAE supports local music rights
The UAE has launched a Collective Management Guide for music to regulate the local music market and protect the rights of authors and creators, including composers, songwriters, singers, and producers. The guide outlines the process for issuing licenses granting music rights management to relevant categories such as hotels, cafes, and airlines. Fee collection will begin in December 2026, with the collection managed by two licensed associations. The guide aims to develop the copyright system, reduce infringements, and promote industry growth by establishing a cultural support fund that allocates 10% of the collected funds to musical initiatives, under the supervision of the ministry to ensure transparency and proper regulation.
