CPRA/Geidankyo manages the rights below;
1. Secondary-use fees for commercial phonograms

The 1961 Rome Convention was the first legislation to deal with the neighbouring rights, and there is also the 1996 WIPO Performance And Phonograms Treaty (WPPT). If you have performed on a sound recording, you may be eligible to receive these royalties.
