Response to Apply AI Strategy

4 Jun 2025

TONOs response to Call for evidence consultation for Apply AI Strategy under the AI Continent Action Plan of the European Commission TONO is a Norwegian collective management organization (CMO) that represents 43,000 songwriters, composers, lyricists, and music publishers from Norway, as well as millions of their colleagues in Europe and from around the world through reciprocal agreements with 78 sister societies. The organization, like SACEM in France and GEMA in Germany, manages performance rights and mechanical rights for musical works in Norway, issuing licenses for music usage on various platforms such as radio, television, concerts, music and movie streaming services, and cinemas. As a non-profit cooperative owned and governed by songwriters, composers, lyricists and music publishers, TONO distributes its financial results to the rights holders in musical works. TONO was established in 1928, and achieved record results in 2024, with a revenue of NOK 1 billion, which is equivalent to approx. EUR 90 million and USD 92 million. TONO welcomes the opportunity to respond to this initial step in the public consultation on the Apply AI Strategy as part of the AI Continent Action Plan.
