SUISA collects copyright royalties on their behalf when their music is used publicly in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Thanks to agreements with over 100 sister societies around the world, SUISA administers the rights of a total of two million authors and music publishers. SUISA employs around 220 people at its offices in Zurich, Lausanne and Lugano and, as a non-profit organization, distributes the income from the licences to the music authors and publishers after deducting administrative costs.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, SUISA founded the joint venture Mint Digital Services together with the US music organization SESAC. The company is responsible for the settlement and administration of the cross-border music licensing business of SESAC Music Group and SUISA with online providers and also offers its services to publishers.<\/p>\n<p>SUISA represents the so-called minor rights. These include non-theatrical musical works, concert versions of theatrical works and musical works in cinema and television films. Major rights such as operas or musicals are represented by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Suisse des Auteurs SSA.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suisa.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.suisa.ch<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suisablog.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.suisablog.ch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cooperative society of authors and publishers of music<br \/>\nCoop\u00e9rative des auteurs et \u00e9diteurs de musique<br \/>\nCooperativa degli autori ed editori di music<\/p>\n<p>Bellariastrasse 82, CH-8038 Zurich,<br \/>\nTel +41 44 485 66 66<\/p>\n<p>Av. du Grammont 11bis, CH-1007 Lausanne,<br \/>\nt\u00e9l +41 21 614 32 32<\/p>\n<p>Via Cattedrale 4, CH-6900 Lugano,<br \/>\ntel +41 91 950 08 28<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:publicrelations@suisa.ch\">publicrelations@suisa.ch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die SUISA ist die Genossenschaft der Urheber und Verleger von Musik der Schweiz und Liechtensteins. \u00dcber 45 000 Komponist\/innen, Textautor\/innen und Musikverleger\/innen aller Sparten sind in der 1923 gegr\u00fcndeten Genossenschaft organisiert.
