The Cámara Uruguaya de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (English: Uruguayan Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers), also known as Cámara Uruguaya del Disco (CUD) (English: Uruguayan Record Chamber), is an Uruguayan non-profit organization.
[1] Like other certifying bodies, the CUD combats piracy in the Uruguayan music industry.
In 2008, the Uruguayan authorities approved law number 18,341 promoted by this company and supported by the Executive Power, which eliminates the Value-added tax (VAT) from CDs and DVDs that contain musical and film productions, starting to be marketed in that country without the percentage of 22% added.
The objective of the norm was to promote the growth of the recording sector and achieve a reduction in the price of copies of albums for the public.
