The performance rights organization responsible for collecting royalties in Malaysia.
About MACP
MACP — Music Authors' Copyright Protection Berhad — is Malaysia's performance rights organization. It licenses public performance and broadcast use of music in Malaysia for songwriters, composers, and music publishers.
Malaysia has a population of around 33 million, with growing streaming adoption, an active broadcasting sector, and a vibrant local music industry across Malay-language pop, K-pop influence, and global hits. Royalties from these uses flow through MACP.
For international songwriters whose music earns in Malaysia, MACP is the route through which performance royalties are collected and distributed to members and partner societies.
