It Takes 35 Percent Before a Single Author Is Paid."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Mali music royalties are distributed under a rulebook that strips 35 percent off the top before a single author is paid, and that rulebook was signed in Bamako on 30 October 1982.<\/p>\n<p>It is still the operative text. OAPI, the regional industrial property body, publishes the <a href=\"https:\/\/oapi.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ARRETE_perception_repartition.pdf\">arrete setting collection and distribution<\/a> for the Bureau malien du droit d&#8217;auteur (BUMDA), Mali&#8217;s collective management organisation, in that form.<\/p>\n<h2>The deduction stack, in order<\/h2>\n<p>The regulation&#8217;s opening clause sets the sequence. Royalties reach rightsholders only after three subtractions: 15 percent for general costs, 15 percent withheld for IAS, and 5 percent for the social fund.<\/p>\n<p>That is 35 FCFA of every 100 collected, gone before any split key applies.<\/p>\n<p>Article 13 adds a second layer. The authors&#8217; social fund is also fed by a 10 percent retention taken from every royalty payment made to each author.<\/p>\n<p>Run both rules in sequence and roughly 58.5 FCFA of each 100 collected reaches a named rightsholder. The regulation has the force of law for members.<\/p>\n<h2>The 1982 keys decide what you compete for<\/h2>\n<p>Radio money is carved up by category before any title is scored. Article 8 allocates 35 percent to dramatic works, 30 percent to musical works with or without words, 20 percent to literary works and 15 percent to the recording right.<\/p>\n<p>A song competes for 30 percent of the radio pool, not for the pool.<\/p>\n<p>Article 9 inverts that for the recording class: 70 percent musical, 15 percent dramatic, 15 percent literary. Public-domain and folklore income never reaches an individual at all, because Article 13 routes it to the social fund and to cultural promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Article 53 matters to exporters: foreign royalties are distributed on BUMDA&#8217;s keys unless the reciprocal agreement hands that job to the foreign society.<\/p>\n<h2>Your entry in the programme log is your only claim<\/h2>\n<p>BUMDA does not pay from a catalogue database. It pays from the programme returns that users file.<\/p>\n<p>Article 4 bis requires those returns daily, naming every work performed with its authors-composers, arrangers and publishers. Article 4 lets BUMDA reject a return it finds false or illegible, and complete titles naming no author &#8220;as far as possible&#8221; from its own file.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as possible&#8221; is where money stops moving. In a report dated 18 August 2026 covering 2022 to 30 September 2025, Mali&#8217;s Verificateur general found board-approved distribution proposals that did not match the regulatory criteria, and royalties booked to a line called &#8220;repertoire BUMDA&#8221; for artists who could not be identified from the telephone operators&#8217; programme logs, <a href=\"https:\/\/bamada.net\/bumda-le-verificateur-general-releve-plusieurs-faiblesses-de-gestion-et-recommande-des-reformes\">per Bamada.net on 7 September 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That, the auditor warned, can reduce what is owed to rightsholders whose works were actually used. Financial irregularities came to 3,600,000 FCFA and were regularised after the audit.<\/p>\n<h2>Collections landed 32 percent short, and the payers are mobile operators<\/h2>\n<p>BUMDA recovered 573,542,862 FCFA in 2025 against a forecast of 841,461,464 FCFA, an execution rate of 68.16 percent, <a href=\"https:\/\/malikunafoni.com\/2026\/03\/11\/49%E1%B5%89-ca-du-bumda-sous-le-signe-de-la-transparence-et-de-la-modernisation\/\">per Mali Tribune&#8217;s report of the 6 March board session<\/a>. About 874,000 euros at the CFA franc&#8217;s fixed peg of 655.957.<\/p>\n<p>The neighbouring-rights distribution that board reviewed covered the 2023 and 2024 financial years, funded chiefly by Orange Mali SA and Moov Africa Malitel. Telecoms money, two to three years in arrears.<\/p>\n<p>Ordinance No. 2026-015\/PT-RM of 10 April 2026 rewrote the law above this machinery. The auditor still had to ask the Ministry of Culture to adopt the text explaining how private copy remuneration, a levy on devices and blank media, is collected.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Malian release should do with this<\/h2>\n<p>Treat BUMDA as the performance and private copy line, not the streaming line. Nothing in the 1982 regulation addresses on-demand streaming, and the board was still being urged in March 2026 to computerise rights tracking.<\/p>\n<p>Declare every work with full author, composer, arranger and publisher credits, because the programme return is the only place your claim exists. The same discipline decides outcomes in <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/burkina-faso-508-million-cfa-royalties-nobody-collected-mali-ordinance\/\">Burkina Faso, where 508 million CFA sat unclaimed<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/benin-bubedra-ussd-royalty-collection-cotonou-register\/\">Benin, where collection runs over USSD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Then run the digital side directly, on per-track ISRC reporting. ISRC means International Standard Recording Code, the identifier for each master, and it is what lets you reconcile a payout rather than reconstruct one from a broadcaster&#8217;s log. <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/togo-butodra-722-authors-royalties-no-mobile-money\/\">Togo paid 722 authors in August, none by mobile money<\/a>, the same gap seen from the payout rail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mali music royalties run on a BUMDA rulebook signed in 1982 that deducts 35 percent before distribution, then 10 percent again at payout.
