Each year NORM publishes a rate card that covers usage of production music (per 30 seconds or part thereof) for film and cinema, audio-visual, live events and corporate presentations, television (including in-flight and closed-circuit), broadcast radio (advertising and programmers), audio only recordings, internet and more.

Users are required to fill in music cue sheets which must be filled in accurately to ensure that composers receive their royalties. Many of the latter ar highly regarded (including contemporary hit-makers and film music writers) and with more and more production music libraries including homegrown music, there are many South African composers who deserve (and depend on) their hard-earned royalties.
