Marina Vasileva, member of the BMA Board of Directors, participated in a round table “33 years later – the big conversation about private copywriting in Bulgaria”, organized by Musicautor within the framework of the initiatives surrounding the first CISAC General Assembly in the Balkans.

Representatives of leading European and international organizations (CISAC, GESAC, SAA, IFRRO, etc.) participated in the discussion, with emphasis placed on the lack of an effective mechanism for private copying in our country.

Bulgaria remains the only country in the EU that has not fully implemented this mechanism. According to a study by Alpha Research, this leads to losses of nearly 28 million leva for authors in the past year alone and slows down the development of the cultural sector.

The Bulgarian Music Association will continue to work actively for legislative changes that would guarantee fair compensation for artists and sustainable development of culture in Bulgaria.

Stage Map | BG is the result of the two-year project for wide-ranging mapping of the music sector in the country, which the BMA launched in 2020 as part of its sectoral initiatives. The aim of the project is to improve information provision and support the development of effective cultural policies and financing mechanisms.

The application is open to all stage spaces in Bulgaria, offering easy and quick access to an extensive array of data. This enables artists-performers to plan their activities without wasting time on additional research, making the process more efficient and easy.

We believe that this product will be of great benefit not only to the music sector, but also to all other performing arts, helping to facilitate their integration and development in the cultural scene of Bulgaria.
