The distribution of copyright

Copyright is the right of the creator's work: it is born with the work and is the lifeblood for the creativity of the entire cultural ecosystem.

 

We protect the work of creators

Through the Music, Cinema, DOR (Theater and RadioTV), Opera, and OLAF (Literary Works and Figurative Arts) sections, we mediate copyright for our authors and publishers in 3 fundamental steps:  

  • We issue authorizations for the use of the works;
  • We collect the fees due from users;
  • We distribute and pay the proceeds collected from the uses to the entitled parties.

 

How the distribution works

Consult the distribution ordinances to understand how we distribute the proceeds from copyright:
