Cambodia outline
Background music in Cambodia venues
Outline: CAMCOS is the musical-works CMO of record in WIPO–ASEAN mapping. Tourism F&B and karaoke corridors need a clear “who to pay” door as enforcement capacity grows.
Three things to remember
- Number / status: Tariff transparency is thinner than VN/MY. Confirm CAMCOS (and any recording path) directly — Thon will not guess USD rates.
- Who to pay: CAMCOS · Recording / related rights. Keep the invoice / licence in the premises’ name and address.
- Not this: A final invoice from Thon · legal advice · collecting for CMOs. Verify before you wire.

No public tariff yet — Tariff transparency is thinner than VN/MY. Confirm CAMCOS (and any recording path) directly — Thon will not guess USD rates.
Who to pay
- CAMCOS — Musical works — Cambodian Music Collective Society
- Recording / related rights — Verify whether a separate recording licence applies — landscape still thin
Proof — what to keep
- CAMCOS (or written) licence for the premises
- Invoice / receipt matching the business
- Keep email trail if tariffs are quoted case-by-case
Legal basis
- Cambodia copyright framework
- CAMCOS licensing practice
Thin infrastructure, real need
When CMOs are young, venues either ignore or overpay middlemen. Thon’s job is the honest map: door, proof, next step — Desk when quotes appear.
