TONO is a cooperative owned and managed by composers, lyricists and music publishers, and on their behalf manages the economic copyrights in the music they have created and own. TONO grants permission for the public performance of protected music on radio, TV, the internet, concerts and cinemas, etc., against payment, and transfers its financial results each year to the rights holders in music that has been played publicly.

As of December 31.12.2025, 45, we had 540 members, and also manage the rights of millions of authors and music publishers belonging to TONO's sister societies in other countries around the world in the Norwegian territory.

It is our wish that our annual and transparency reports will provide deeper insight into and understanding of TONO's unique nature, operations, finances and governance - both among our members, sister societies, customers, the rest of the music industry and other interested parties.
