What is the mandate of School Music Licensing (SML™)?

• School Music Licensing is an officially appointed and mandated agent of the Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO).
• The Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO) is mandated by the South African Copyright Act 98 of 1978 to protect the intellectual
property rights of music creators and publishers.

How does School Music Licensing help my school/institution?

• School Music Licensing liaises directly with SAMRO and other parties (like the Department of Education) regarding music rights on behalf of
schools in South Africa.
• As a music publisher with many years of experience regarding music licensing for international TV shows (like The Voice®), licensing hub assisting
thousands of churches (via CML® - an affiliate of Traxtudio®), SML has the extensive knowledge, skills, and flawless reputation to help schools
ensure that they are legally compliant to avoid hefty fines.
• Simultaneously, SML helps to ensure that the rightful owners of the intellectual property (of the music that is being performed) receive their
royalties.

We are just a school … why pay SAMRO?
