If my works are performed overseas, do I have to join the Society there in order for me to collect my royalties?

Not necessary. COMPASS has reciprocal agreements with many similar performing Societies around the world including those in Hong Kong, USA, UK and Australia. Under these agreements, COMPASS’s repertoire is assigned to these Societies and vice versa. Through such an arrangement, COMPASS Members’ works are controlled and administered by these foreign Societies in their respective countries, which means that if your works are performed in their territories, you get paid via COMPASS.
