Goals
The SIAE (Associazione Italiana Autori Editori) is a point of reference for authors and publishers, as well as for those who operate in the entertainment industry. A society (in the language adopted by authors societies it is often referred to as a multi-purpose society) that issues thousands and thousands of licenses for the uses of each work, thus facilitating the payment of royalties by the users and protecting the authors works. Authors, publishers, and other rightholders adhere voluntarily in order to economically protect their works. SIAE is represented in Italy with 9 regional offices, 13 local offices, 34 branch offices and nearly 600 agents.
