GetSound S.r.l., a Collecting Company active in the management of rights belonging to phonogram producers, announces that the close collaboration established with the Collecting Company ITSRIGHT S.r.l., regarding both the mandate to manage all related rights and the joint effort to achieve a primary distribution system for audio private copying royalties more favorable to independent record producers, has matured with the shared intent of contributing to the creation of a large Collecting Company highly representative of the independent record industry that best protects its rights.

Therefore, on March 5, 2026, GetSound S.r.l. sold to the Collective Management Organization Itsright S.r.l. the business unit responsible for the management and administration of rights related to copyright and the right to private copying royalties due to all principal phonogram producers.

Following this transfer, Itsright S.r.l. GetSound S.r.l. therefore takes over the direct management of all the aforementioned rights, acquiring all related credits and liabilities and also taking over the related agreements signed by GetSound and in force at the date of the transfer.

Consequently, on March 10, 2026, GetSound S.r.l. requested AGCOM to remove it from the List of Collective Management Organizations and Independent Management Entities drawn up pursuant to Article 5, paragraph 1 of Annex “A” to AGCOM Resolution No. 396/17/CONS.
