In El Salvador, the work of collecting related rights is done through the Salvadoran Association of Producers of Phonograms and Allied, Collective Management Entity (ASAP). Copyright societies suchs as ARIES, E.G.C. track all the events and venues where copyrighted works are used and ensure that the copyright holders listed with the society are remunerated for such usage. The copyright society publishes its own tariff scheme on its websites and collects a nominal administrative fee on every transaction.
