                      Founded in 1959 by five musical performers, SPEDIDAM (Society for the collection and distribution of performers rights) enables them to exercise control over the secondary uses of their recorded performances and to receive additional remuneration for such uses (recordings broadcast in shows, recordings used for film soundtracks, etc.).
