Nepali songs that are streamed on YouTube, TikTok, and Spotify will now be paid royalties. The Sangeet Royalty Sankalan Samaj Nepal will soon sign a contract in this regard. B Pandey, Secretary of the Sangeet Royalty Sankalan Samaj Nepal, stated that they are in contact with all international digital platforms that use Nepali songs. "With digital media, everything is moving forward. While everyone is talking, the first agreement has been reached with Meta,” He said. Pandey also told ICT Samachar “We're talking to all the international platform that uses Nepali music and songs.”
The Sangeet Royalty Sankalan Samaj Nepal signed a deal with Meta last Thursday to get royalties for Nepali songs played on Instagram and Facebook reels. In the near future, the society will also reach an agreement with YouTube. The society has even held online meetings with YouTube 1-2 times, according to Pandey. He recently spoke with TikTok, a popular platform for short videos, he said. According to him, a royalty’s agreement with YouTube and TikTok will be reached in the next 1-2 months.
Aside from these, the Sangeet Royalty Sankalan Samaj Nepal has begun talks with platforms and digital service provider (DSP) apps like Spotify, Gaana, and others who use Nepali songs and music. According to Pandey, incorrect information about Nepali songs and music has now reached international platforms. "The company's name is written in the name of a good song's lyricist, composer, and singer," he explains. 'The data has gone without mentioning the real creator / creator,' he says.
That is why it is critical to separate all of this information. The Sangeet Royalty Sankalan Samaj Nepal is facing the challenge with the task of sorting through historical data, making it transparent, and providing accurate information. The technical team of the Sangeet Royalty Sankalan Samaj Nepal are dedicated now to solve such problems. Secretary General Pandey is confident that all these issues will be resolved soon and an agreement will be reached with other digital platforms.
