What is NCB, the Nordic Copyright Bureau?

NCB, the Nordic Copyright Bureau, has its headquarters in Copenhagen. It is a music organization owned by STIM, together with our Nordic equivalents. NCB works with music in film and television, licenses for record releases, music downloads, etc. NCB is in charge of managing these licenses and agreements – but payment is made via STIM. These are specified as “mechanical rights” on the music creator’s payment documentation from STIM.

Log in to My Pages if you are a music creator or a music publisher, and read your distirubution statement from STIM.

Or check out our payment calendar to see when we will distribute the NCB royalty for the coming period.
