Kazakh music is
returning to social media following a new agreement between Meta and the
Kazakhstan Authors’ Society. According to the Ministry of Justice, the deal
will be in effect for two years. Officials say the protection of local music
content in the digital space will benefit both artists and users who feature
their tracks in videos. In another development for authors and rights holders,
Kazakhstan plans to launch a digital platform that uses artificial intelligence
to protect copyright. The system will enable online tracking of how works are
used — from contract signing to the collection, distribution, and payment of
royalties.
«The goal of the
platform is to bring together all parties who use or plan to use copyrighted
content in their activities. The aim is to create a
comprehensive digital registry of authors, performers, and producers, as well
as users who have signed agreements with a Collective Management Organization.
These registries will make it possible to clearly identify who is legally using
copyrighted works,» said Sholpan Abdreyeva, Chairperson of the Intellectual
Property Rights Committee, Kazakh Ministry of Justice.
