Mission and activities
IPF respects the International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations, proposed in 1961 in Rome. IPF is a collecting society whose main activity is collecting remuneration for public use of phonograms which are being used in business purposes by users, such as restaurants, shops, television and radio stations, bars, etc. Such collecting of remuneration for the usage of recordings is made on the basis of the tariffs outlined in the Rule Book for Using Phonograms. The money thus raised is then distributed among legitimate performers and producers of music.
The IPF website offers access to forms, a blog, IPF TV, and the IPF digital library.
International cooperation
The organisation cooperates with the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), which represents the recording industry worldwide with over 1400 members in 66 countries and affiliated industry associations in 45 countries.
