NCB
STEF is a member of NCB (Nordisk Copyright Bureau), an organisation jointly owned by all Nordic copyright associations. STEF has entrusted NCB with the task of protecting the recording rights of parties represented by STEF. NCB protects music creators' exclusive right to record their music and the associated text and issue it in some form, such as sound recordings, video recordings, etc. When rights holders authorise STEF to protect their interests, this authorisation extends also to protection by NCB. NCB grants permission and collects fees for recording rights and then allocates the appropriate royalties to rights holders.
