About Recorded Artists Actors Performers (RAAP)

Recorded Artists Actors Performers (RAAP) is a not-for-profit organisation set up by performers for performers to ensure that musicians receive performance royalties from broadcast recordings. Following the introduction of the Copyright Act 2000, RAAP was set up to administer and distribute performance royalties to artists. All artists, main and session musicians, are entitled to a payment when a sound recording, they have contributed to, is communicated to the public around the world. RAAP also represents actors working on their behalf to claim royalties for their audio-visual rights. Based in Ireland, RAAP has agreements with over 50 territories globally, and continues to cultivate relationships with other markets to ensure all our members are represented equally. Since launching in 2001, RAAP has collected and distributed performance royalties in excess of €100 million, to more than 80,000 performers in Ireland and abroad. The performance right exists throughout Europe and in many other countries around the world. RAAP continues to engage in collecting income for our members through international reciprocal agreements, entered under E.U. and W.I.P.O. directives. RAAP continues to lobby Government for legislative change as we take our role seriously in protecting the property rights of our members. We are driven by the belief that all performers should benefit from the exploitation of their performances. The creativity and cultural diversity that performers and their performances bring to society has enriched and defined the fabric of communities. Performers therefore deserve to be rewarded for their endeavours. Contact RAAP at (01) 278 8724/ info@raap.ie & https://raap.ie/
