摘要：The relationship between traditional music as a collective notion and copyright, which implies the property of an individual, an author, is a global topic. In Croatia this relationship reflects the issues similar to those around the world, as well as some specificities. Regardless of some problematic elements of the Copyright and Related Rights Law, which includes the renditions of traditional music but also the original folklore performances, as well as the activities of ZAMP (Croatian Composers' Society, Collecting Society) as the principal organization for the implementation of these rights in the area of music, it has become evident that those who profit most from the exploitation of traditional music are its arrangers and producers and that, on the other hand, they are closely connected to the music they exploit.
