Performer — living in Czechia
Register with your home performers' society. It pays you when the recordings you play or sing on are broadcast or played in public, and it can collect from other countries where it has agreements.
INTERGRAM, nezávislá společnost výkonných umělců a výrobců zvukových a zvukově obrazových záznamů, z.s. · Czechia
We haven't checked how to join this society yet, or whether it takes this role. Its own site has the rules and the application.
Your home society comes first: it is the one you join for the rights listed. The joining details come from each society's own website, read on the date shown on its card. Countries we haven't checked yet show the society from our worldwide directory, with a link to its site.

Societies pay the writers registered with them. If you write songs and aren't a member of an authors' society, your writer share of radio, TV, live and streaming plays can't reach you. It sits unidentified until it is claimed, or is shared out to others.
When a recording you are on is broadcast or played in public, performers are owed a share (neighbouring rights). It is paid through performers' societies, and registering is how it finds you.
Master owners collect their share of the same plays through producers' societies. Publishers collect the publisher share of the songs through the authors' society. Both collect through a society membership.
