Welcome to IMSTA

The International Music Software Trade Association (IMSTA) is a nonprofit association which represents the interests of the music software industry. Its primary goal is to change end-user behavior in order to reduce the demand for pirated music software. IMSTA pursues this goal through education and not litigation.

Software companies deserve to get paid for their hard work just as you deserve to get paid for your hard work. Most musicians would not equip their studios with stolen hardware, so why equip your studios with stolen software?

Do the right thing: ‘Buy the software you use’
