We at AIMP are thrilled to be able to communicate with the vast and talented Latin community of Publishers and Songwriters.

In creating the Latin Corner, AIMP intends to become a source of information, education and consultation about the topics that interest us all in the Latin market of U.S.A  As we enter the Digital era with all its challenges and opportunities, it is more important than ever that we can make decisions based on the correct information.

The Latin Corner will be a tool for all members and non-members who need to know about subjects like intellectual property, copyright registration and protection, news from the Library of Congress, expert’s opinions and concerns in the ever changing landscape of the business.

It is important to realize that we can no longer remain indifferent or neutral in the problems that we face as publishers and songwriters.  We must participate and exercise our rights to be fairly compensated for the works we create; a world without music would not be nearly as fun as it is with it.

As mechanical copyright royalties fade away and new configurations and exploitations of music become the norm, we must remain vigilant and alert about rates and licensing.  From our Latin Corner, we will try to keep you up to date on information about these topics and more.

Hasta la próxima!
