CISAC community calls for streaming royalties in Poland

Authors societies from around the world, grouped within CISAC, have come together to back the campaign in Poland for audiovisual creators to be legally entitled to royalties for their work.  

Screenwriters and directors are central to the success of films and TV programmes, and many countries grant them a fair right of remuneration guaranteeing payment for online uses of their works. However, Poland does not have such a right.

At the CISAC General Assembly in Seoul, a resolution supporting the campaign by Poland’s AV society ZAPA was adopted on behalf of CMOs in 116 countries.  The Resolution calls for Poland to provide proper protection and introduce an unwaivable remuneration right for audiovisual creators.
