Abstract: Music copyrights are an instrument of the legal system that provides for incentives for commercial music market creation and profit generation. This article addresses the trials and tribulations of the music authors in Macedonia with respect to collective management of their music copyrights. Our evidence-based conclusion is that, generally, the music authors get what they deserve. Complaining about the inefficiency of the current music copyrights collective management system in Macedonia will not make the problems disappear. Copying other countries' 'successful' systems will not do the trick either. Macedonia should devise a new system of music copyrights, using the successful models developed by others, yet tailored to its own needs.
