IPCAw

IPCAw refers to the Indian Performing Right Society Limited's Author's share. This share represents the portion of royalties collected by the Indian Performing Right Society Limited (IPRS) that is due to authors of musical works. When music is publicly performed, broadcast, or reproduced in specific ways, royalty fees are generated. IPRS collects these fees on behalf of its members, which include authors, composers, and publishers. The total royalties collected are then distributed among these rights holders based on pre-defined agreements and the society's regulations. The Author's share specifically pertains to the remuneration that authors receive for the use of their literary or musical creations within a song or composition. This distribution mechanism ensures that creators are compensated for the commercial exploitation of their intellectual property. The exact percentage allocated to the author's share can vary depending on the specific agreement between IPRS and its members, as well as international agreements if applicable. This system is a fundamental aspect of music copyright and royalty management in India.
