Aarc

The Alliance of Artists and Recording Companies (AARC) was a small organization established in 1993 to manage music royalties under the United States Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. Over its 28-year operation, AARC represented recording artists and sound recording copyright owners, ensuring they received compensation for losses in sales due to home private copying.

Despite its modest size, AARC effectively administered royalties for hundreds of thousands of participants, earning the nickname "AARC Angels" for their dedicated service. The organization concluded its operations in 2021, with future collections and distributions of home taping private copy lending royalties transitioning to SoundExchange.
