Are you releasing your own music? However, from 2012 you have to pay a minimum amount for so-called coincidence productions, but there is no longer a circulation limit and no requirement for a first edition.
/ 23/01/2012 / codexThe minimum amount for Norway in 2012 is NOK 550. NCB manages the mechanical rights (recording rights) for TONO members. If the person who publishes the music is identical to the person(s) who wrote the music and lyrics (composer and lyricist=author), then separate NCB rules apply. In the event of a coincidence between publisher and author, TONO/NCB will invoice a minimum amount, regardless of whether it is a first edition or a new edition of an already registered production. There is also no limit on the size of the edition. The amount covers NCB's costs of registering the recording. The author cannot have entered into a publishing contract with a music publisher, nor "borrow" a label from another record company. If this is the case, TONO/NCB will collect for the production from copy no. 1. Under all circumstances, the production must be registered with TONO/NCB and this must be arranged before the production can be produced. For more information, contact TONO/NCB.
