About STIM, GEMA and Teosto – and international cooperation

STIM, GEMA and Teosto are three of TONO's sister societies, meaning they are copyright organizations that have the same role and function as TONO in other countries and territories. STIM does the same job as TONO in Sweden, GEMA in Germany and Teosto in Finland.

They are among the approximately 100 sister societies that TONO has reciprocal agreements with. This means that TONO represents their members when their music is used in Norway. Similarly, as a TONO member, you are looked after by GEMA when your music is used in Germany, by STIM in Sweden and Teosto in Finland.

Through the songwriting camp, TONO contributes to the innovation of music according to TONO's statutes, while strengthening our international cooperation. It also allows us to become an even greater resource for TONO members.
