Comes with Music is a pioneering service which offers consumers a new way to discover and enjoy music. Customers who buy a Comes With Music device can explore and enjoy a diverse catalog of music of international and local artists with unlimited access to millions of tracks for 12 to 18 months, keeping the music at the end and revolutionizing their digital music experience.
The music copyright for this use is settled between Buma/Stemra and Nokia. "We are pleased about this deal with Nokia. It enables us to guarantee our composers and lyricists a reasonable payment for the use of their music through the Nokia Comes With Music service regardless in which EU country they reside," said Cees Vervoord, CEO of Buma/Stemra.

About Buma/Stemra

Buma/Stemra is the collecting society for music in the Netherlands. Buma/Stemra represents the interests of music authors worldwide and promotes Dutch music as an international product. Music authors can transfer the commercial exploitation of their music copyright to Buma/Stemra. Keeping track of who is using their music can be a lot of work for music authors to do theirselves. Buma/Stemra will do this job for them and makes sure music authors receive remuneration for the use of their creations. One of the things we do to ensure this is by signing agreements with music users.
