On March 5, the National Government issued Decree 150/25 which amended DNU 5146/69 of the de facto Government of Juan Carlos Onganía which regulated Law No. 17,648 and which in its first section provided that “the Argentine Society of Authors and Composers of Music (S.A.D.A.A.I.C.) shall be responsible for the collection throughout the territory of the Republic of the economic royalties arising from the use of musical and literary works set to music, whatever the means and modalities”. In the second paragraph it stated that “individuals or legal entities, national or foreign, who are to receive such economic rights for themselves or for their principals, shall act through the Argentine Society of Authors and Composers of Music (S.A.D.A.A.I.C.).
By means of DNU 150/25, this first article of the 1969 regulation was modified, establishing that the SOCIEDAD ARGENTINA DE AUTORES Y COMPOSITORES DE MÚSICA (SADAIC) shall be empowered to exercise the collective management of the economic rights of authors arising from the use of musical and literary musical works, whatever the means and modalities, whose owners have granted it a mandate.
