The Association of Caribbean Copyrights Societies (ACCS) was founded in 2000, and serves as a Regional Centre, whose task it is to accurately monitor and maintain a centralized Caribbean database, ensuring acceptable data standards for all incoming and exported information on the works stored within this database. ACCS also acts as the communications “link” between the Caribbean copyright societies, facilitating regional integration and concentrated efforts in one common direction. ACCS can be viewed as the “umbrella” organisation which encompasses the author societies of the region, presenting one common voice on issues relating to Intellectual property and authors’ rights. Above all, the principal aim of Association of Caribbean Copyright Societies is to place regional authors, composers and publishers in a better position to collect royalties from international markets. The Founding members of ACCS are COSCAP (Copyright Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers Inc.) of Barbados, COTT (Copyright Music Organisation of Trinidad & Tobago), ECCO (Eastern Caribbean Collective Organisation for Music Rights) of the OECS, and JACAP (Jamaican Association of Composers, Authors & Publishers Ltd).
