Intergram

What Intergram does

Intergram, z.s. is a Czech non-profit collective rights management organization (CMO) authorized by the Ministry of Culture to administer neighboring rights of performing artists and producers of phonograms and audiovisual fixations. Founded in 1990/1991 by performer and producer associations, it is the sole organization in the Czech Republic managing this specific rights category. Its member base comprises approximately 16,000 performing artists (singers, actors, musicians, conductors, dubbers, dancers) and 2,300 producers of sound recordings and audiovisual fixations.

The organization's core digital asset is the Client Portal (portal.intergram.cz), a self-service platform where rights holders register recordings, submit annual statutory declarations (ČP VZZ for phonogram producers, ČP VZOZ for audiovisual producers), manage ISRC codes, and track royalty distributions. Supporting infrastructure includes the Catalogue of Producer for repertoire management and electronic voting for General Assembly governance. All operations sit on a non-profit fee model — registration is free, and operating costs are covered through administrative deductions (režijní srážka) from collected royalties.

Intergram generates licensing revenue across five streams: public performance licensing (largely distributed through the OSA one-stop-shop since 2018), radio and television broadcasting licensing, retransmission licensing (cable, satellite, IPTV), individual use/synchronization licensing managed as an agency service, and private copy remuneration from device and media manufacturers/importers. International reach is achieved through reciprocal representation agreements with over 90 CMOs across Europe, North America, and Asia, enabling cross-border royalty collection and distribution. The organization operates with 11–50 employees from its headquarters in Prague.

Revenue model

1. Collective Management Royalties: Intergram collects remuneration from users of recorded music and performances (broadcasters, public venues, etc.) based on statutory rights. The collected royalties, after deducting operational costs (režijní srážka), are distributed to represented performing artists and producers. The organization operates as a non-profit entity.
2. License Fees: Fees collected from broadcasters (TV, radio), operators of public spaces, and other users who need licenses to use recorded music and performances. Includes fees for broadcasting, public performance, retransmission, and private copying remuneration.
3. Individual Use Licensing: Licensing fees for individual use of recordings such as synchronization in films, advertisements, and on-demand internet offerings. This is managed as an agency service.

Core offering

Intergram exercises the collective administrative rights of performing artists and producers of phonograms and audiovisual fixations in the Czech Republic. It collects licensing fees from broadcasters, public venues, retransmission operators, and users of individual recordings, then distributes the proceeds (less administrative deductions) as royalties to the represented rights holders. Members access these services and manage their repertoire through the Client Portal, supported by ISRC code management, statutory declaration filings, and the Catalogue of Producer.

Product overview

Intergram is the sole collective management organization (CMO) in the Czech Republic for neighboring rights — specifically, the rights of performing artists and producers of phonograms and audiovisual fixations. Its offering consists of a unified rights management platform centered on the Client Portal (Klientský Portál), through which represented performers and producers manage recording registrations, submit statutory declarations (ČP VZZ for phonogram producers and ČP VZOZ for audiovisual producers), track royalties, and access documents. Supporting sub-products include ISRC code management, the Catalogue of Producer for rights identification, and a suite of licensing services covering public performances (one-stop-shop via OSA e-shop), radio and TV broadcasting, retransmission, individual use/synchronization, and private copy remuneration. The organization also operates under statutory and extended collective management frameworks, connects with over 20 international CMOs via reciprocal agreements, and provides cultural and social support through professional organization partnerships.

Products and services

• Client Portal (Klientský Portál) Online self-service platform enabling represented performing artists and producers to register recordings, submit statutory declarations, track royalty distributions, access documents, and manage their rights portfolios. Authentication uses Bank iD or SMS-based login.
• Public Performance Licensing Licensing service for playing recorded music or music videos in public spaces (restaurants, bars, shops, hotels, gyms, etc.). For most venue categories a single license through OSA's e-shop covers all Czech collective administrators; cinemas, theatres, and spa facilities arrange licenses directly with Intergram.
• Radio and Television Broadcasting Licensing Licensing agreements for radio and TV broadcasters covering the use of all music content including publishers' and performers' rights across terrestrial, satellite, simulcasting, and internet radio. Broadcasters submit monthly playlists and annual revenue reports; associated services such as catch-up and archives are also covered.
• Retransmission Licensing Licensing for cable, satellite, and IPTV operators providing third-party TV programming to Czech customers. Covers retransmission of broadcasting plus additional services such as catch-up and multiroom. Any operator serving Czech customers must obtain a license regardless of where they are based.
• Individual Use Licensing Agency service for obtaining licenses to include specific recordings or performances in films, advertisements (synchronization), compilations, or on-demand internet offerings. Managed as an agency service rather than under collective administration.
• Private Copy Remuneration Administration Collection and administration of statutory compensation fees from manufacturers and importers of devices and media capable of making private copies (memory cards, hard drives, smartphones, tablets, optical discs, etc.). Operated as a semiannual reporting and invoicing process.
