Myanmar outline
Background music in Myanmar venues
Outline: MPRO (musical works) plus recording/performers associations (MRLA, MMA, MVAA, UMRP) appear in ASEAN CMO maps — fragmented and politically fragile. Map doors carefully; do not pretend stable national tariffs.
Three things to remember
- Number / status: No Thon-verified tariff. Confirm with active societies before payment; landscape can shift. Path checklist first.
- Who to pay: MPRO · MRLA / performers bodies. 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 — No Thon-verified tariff. Confirm with active societies before payment; landscape can shift. Path checklist first.
Who to pay
- MPRO — Musical works — Myanmar Performance Rights Organization (verify current status)

Proof — what to keep

- Entity identity matching the premises

Legal basis
- Myanmar copyright framework
- Local CMO practice (verify live)
Honest outline
Thon lists Myanmar so the SEA house is complete — and so operators know the map is fragile. Desk / counsel before wire transfers.
Verify before you wire
/mm/app/ forces the MPRO + recording checks. A PDF from 2019 is not proof the door still opens in 2026.
