Kazakhstan will create a digital platform to monitor the use of music and ensure fair distribution of royalties, Minister of Justice Yerlan Sarsenbayev announced at a recent government press conference.
According to him, many Kazakhstani users can no longer access local music on Instagram due to the expiration of a contract between the Kazakh Authors’ Society (KazAK) and Meta. Now, one of 15 organizations managing copyright in Kazakhstan is negotiating a new agreement.
Additionally, the Ministry of Justice is working on the digitalization of the collective copyright management system. The new platform aims to increase transparency, control the use of copyrighted works, and simplify interactions between authors, rights holders, and content users.
Rinat Abdukhalikov, head of the Kazakh Society for Reprographic Rights, supported the initiative. He emphasized that an effective copyright management system would help develop the creative industry and protect authors' interests.
With this platform, authors will be able to track where and how their content is used in real time, receive contract details, and monitor royalty distribution.
The Ministry of Justice also plans to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into the platform to enhance analytics and reporting. The possibility of integration with national and international information systems is also being explored.
Additionally, the government is considering a mobile application to facilitate interactions between authors and the platform.
The digital copyright platform is part of a broader effort to digitalize Kazakhstan's intellectual property sector. Authorities expect that it will increase transparency and ensure fair compensation for authors.
