Second-based fees are not collected for the use of music works, specifically for music works written for audiovisual works and for the use of music works in advertising – in such cases, the music work’s author has the right to enter into a direct contract. The fees listed in the table cover usage only within the territory of Estonia. For each additional country, 15% is added to the initial fee (multiply by 1.15), for inclusion in the European territory, 100% is added (X2), for the USA and Canada territory, 100% is added (X2), and for worldwide usage, 200% is added (X3, covering all the aforementioned distribution areas).
