ICMP the global voice of music publishing
ICMP is the world trade association representing the interests of the music publishing community internationally.

Included are the leading independent multinational and international companies and regional and national music publishers, mainly SMEs, throughout the world.

Mission
As the voice and point of reference of music publishers, and their community of composers and songwriters internationally, ICMP's mission is to increase copyright protection, encourage a better environment for business and act as an industry forum for consolidating global positions.

ICMP has a Board of Directors elected by the General Assembly every two years and has two elected Bureaux – Pop Music and Contemporary Serious Music - that advise the Board.

What Music Publishers do
Music publishers provide a bridge between the creative process and the market. They discover, nurture, develop, promote and invest in composers and authors and ensure their work finds a commercial outlet. Music publishers protect the interests of artists and guarantee their creative output is rewarded by arranging contracts and protecting copyrighted music. Publisher members of ICMP cover all music genres, invest in lyricists and composers and support advocacy for fair and effective copyright laws to allow artists to make a living from their work.

ICMP works together with its members to address intellectual property and copyright issues across the globe including:
 * Free Trade Agreements
 * Global Repertoire Database
 * Exceptions to copyright and WIPO
 * Collective Rights Management

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ICMP - International Confederation of Music Publishers


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ICMP - International Confederation of Music Publishers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
