At some point, every artist faces the challenges of music and law. 
Questions like, “Who receives payments from BumaStemra, and what must I do to qualify?” and “Does every artist need to join BumaStemra?” are common. Others wonder, “Do I get money from Sena for live performances?” or “What are the differences and similarities between BumaStemra (Copyright law) and Sena (Neighboring rights law)?” To answer these and many other questions, the Dutch collecting societies have teamed up with DJ Laura van Dam to present Music Rights on Tour.

Join us during the ADE Lab for a tailored Masterclass. This session will be both informative and interactive, featuring a quiz and a discussion on how DJ Laura van Dam creates her tracks and manages her business. Don’t miss out—be sure to attend our special Music Rights on Tour masterclass at ADE Lab!
