Collective management of authors’ rights
In instances where the individual enforcement or management of rights would not be appropriate due to the number and variety of uses of a work, rightsholders have chosen to have their rights represented collectively through collective management societies.
The societies negotiate and collect rights payments from the various private and public entities that use protected works and distribute them to rights holders. Authors’ societies also defend the interests and the rights of their member authors.
