A platform for copyright control will be created in Kazakhstan

For several months, users in Kazakhstan have been unable to use music by local artists on Instagram. This is due to the expiration of the contract between the Kazakh copyright society KazAK and Meta.

This issue lies solely within the framework of contractual relations between rights holders and platforms. Currently, any organization that is part of the association for the management of collective copyright rights enters into contractual agreements with platforms such as Instagram and Meta. In the fall of 2024, these contractual relations were terminated at the initiative of one of the parties. One of the 15 similar organizations in Kazakhstan is currently negotiating with Meta for a new agreement. The task of the Ministry of Justice is to ensure that these relations can be legally implemented within the legal framework.

The agency is working on creating a digital platform that will allow authors to control the use of their works.
