Media's AI PivotBackground
The International Confederation of Music Publishers represents music-publishing businesses and national trade associations. Its members include major companies and Independent publishers. The organisation coordinates policy work across regions, giving this part of the music industry a shared forum on copyright, licensing and the treatment of creative works. It lists its head office in Switzerland and a European office in Belgium. [ICMP](https://icmpmusic.com/).
Its board and specialist groups cover legal affairs, collective management, music metadata and industry research. Other groups focus on classical music and production music used in film, television, games and digital services. These activities explain why ICMP participates in debates about AI training: the debate concerns how works represented by its members are used and licensed.
