Interested Parties Information
IPI (Interested party information) is a unique identifying number assigned by the CISAC database to each Interested Party in collective rights management. It is used worldwide by more than 120 countries and three million right holders.[1]
Two types of IPI-numbers exist, an IPI Name Number and IPI Base Number.[2]
IPI Name Number
[edit]The IP Name Number is the code for a name or pseudonym related to an entity (natural person or a legal entity). One entity can have several names. Prince for example has the IPI-codes 00045620792 (Nelson Prince Rogers), 00052210040 (Prince) and 00334284961 (Nelson Prince R).
The IPI Name Number is composed of eleven numeric digits.[3]
IPI Base Number
[edit]The IPI Base Number is the code for a natural person or a legal entity. It has the pattern H-NNNNNNNNN-C.
- H: header (a single letter)
- N: identification number (nine numeric digits)
- C: check digit (a single number)
For example Pablo Picasso has the IP Base Number I-001068130-6.
History
[edit]In October 2001, the IPI database replaced the CAE numbers.[4]
Relation with ISWC-numbers
[edit]IPI codes are connected with International Standard Musical Work Codes (ISWC). For example, one of the songs called Ernie, which has an International Standard Musical Work Code number of ISWC T-010.171.314-7, has just one interested party, that of Benny Hill whose IPI number is 00014107338. This IPI number can then be used to find all other works by him.
Roles
[edit]In relation to ISWC each party has at least one role. Roles can be:[5]
- A: Author, Writer, Lyricist
- AD: Adaptor
- AM: Administrator
- AR: Arranger
- AQ: Acquirer
- C: Composer
- CA: Composer/Author
- E: Original Publisher
- ES: Substitute Publisher
- PA: Publisher Income Participant
- PR: Associated Performer
- SA: Sub-Author
- SE: Sub-Publisher
- SR: Sub-Arranger
- TR: Translator
The standards describe the person who adapts music as an arranger, and the person who adapts the text of a musical work to be an adapter.[6]
