For the independent label and publishing company Ranka Kustannus, Gramex remunerations are a key part of revenue. These copyright remunerations allow the company to keep investing in new music. CEO Riku Pääkkönen urges artists to care as much about remunerations as they do about their art.

Gramex compensation is an integral part of the business of record company PME. For PME, copyright means not only revenue, but also recognition from music performers and producers. They encourage artists to take an interest in royalties and join Gramex.

The fifth edition of the Indie Awards was presented at an invitation-only event at the Helsinki Tiivistämö.
