REPRODUCTION-BASED INCOME<br />

In 2001, reproduction-based income totaled just below $2.42 billion, a decrease of 11.6% from 2000. The decline<br />

reflects losses in all three main sub-sectors of reproduction-based income: phono-mechanicals, synchronization/transcription,<br />

and private copying.<br />

Revenues from phono-mechanicals fell by 13.1% to $1.73 billion, while revenues from synchronization decreased<br />

by 7.6% to $619.2 million. As predicted in the report covering 2000, discouraging world record sales figures for 2001<br />

released by IFPI were a major factor; as piracy continues to rise and legitimate sales continue to fall, these revenues<br />

are unlikely to show positive growth in the near future.<br />

Revenues from private copying also fell, down nearly 9% in 2001 to $65.4 million. Private copying accounted for<br />

2.7% of reproduction-based income,up slightly from the 2.6% it accounted for in 2000.Synchronization accounted for<br />

25.6% (compared with 24.5% in 2000) and phono-mechanical royalties 71.6% (compared with 72.8%).<br />

There were no significant changes in the rates of phono-mechanical royalties paid across the world in 2001. In<br />

Continental Europe,the rate was 9.009% of Published Price to Dealers (PPD),although this was subject to various discounts<br />

negotiated at the national level.In most of Latin America,the figure was between 8% and 8.5% of PPD; Mexico’s<br />

rate sets 8% of PPD for cassettes but 7.5% of PPD for CDs. Several countries in Southeast Asia (including Hong Kong,<br />

South Korea and Singapore) use a percentage of retail-selling price (RSP),with the adjusted retail price (ARP) in Japan<br />

rising from a 5.6% rate to 6%. Taiwan uses a combination of 5.4% of PPD and 6.25% of RSP. The United States and<br />

Canada are the only countries where the rate is calculated in cents per track rather than as a percentage of the price.<br />

The table giving details of the Mechanical Royalty Rates for the 2001 <strong>Survey</strong> Period lists is on page 18.<br />

Among the largest national markets for reproduction-based income, the U.K. and Germany swapped the third and<br />

fourth slots from 2000.Australia/New Zealand moved up from tenth place to eighth in 2001,dropping The Netherlands<br />

from eighth to ninth. Canada moved up from eleventh place to tenth. Mexico, which finished ninth in 2000, fell to<br />

eleventh in 2001.<br />
