Tous Pour La Musique

What Tous Pour La Musique does

Tous Pour La Musique (TPLM) is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) that federates over 30 professional organizations representing the entire French music industry value chain — from authors, composers and performers through publishers, producers, distributors, concert entrepreneurs, and musical instrument manufacturers. Headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine and edited and managed by Sacem, TPLM functions as the unified collective voice of the French music sector, serving as the recognized interlocutor with public authorities on policy, intellectual property, and cultural funding matters. Its President, Jean-Christophe Bourgeois, leads both the association and serves as Director of Publication of the TPLM website.

TPLM's core product is an information and advocacy platform built around its website (tplmusique.org), supported by social media channels (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube) and a Sendinblue-powered email newsletter. It offers curated resources promoting legal music consumption (a guide to streaming platforms including Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz, Tidal, etc.), concert discovery links, music industry research and economic studies (including EY-conducted studies via France Créative), and educational programs in partnership with Génération Numérique and Musique Prim, including the 'Tour de France des collèges' digital literacy program and a gender equality module reaching 26,000 students annually. TPLM has no traditional commercial product, no disclosed revenue model, and operates as a non-profit advocacy body with 8 employees.

Its business model is association-based: funded through its members and administered by Sacem rather than via commercial pricing. Strategic activity centers on policy advocacy — most recently a June 2026 letter to President Macron and an April 2026 approach to the Minister of Culture demanding removal of the cap on taxes allocated to the Centre National de la Musique (CNM). TPLM's measurable sector impact is framed by industry-wide data it promotes: 191,000 jobs in the French music sector and €2.8 billion in direct value added in 2024 (+50% versus 2019). The organization is a governance and lobbying entity, not a technology or product business.
