National cases studies

Legislation in several European countries demonstrates that, far from being an obstacle, legal recognition of unwaivable remuneration rights to audiovisual authors, with collective management, helps support industry growth.

Legislators all over the world need to improve their country’s legal environment to efficiently protect and remunerate audiovisual authors for the exploitation of their works. This way countries can attract and retain their best authors. It stimulates the creation of original quality work that can compete on a globalized market.
