CISAC delegation meets Bulgarian prime minister on copyright

CISAC and its Bulgarian members MUSICAUTOR and FILMAUTOR joined up to meet with Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov following the CISAC General Assembly in Sofia.
Bulgaria has a dynamic creative and cultural sector and world-class artists, and there was much to discuss with the government on how to strengthen creators’ rights and improve the legislative landscape to ensure creators are respected and fairly remunerated.
The discussions ranged from the safeguarding of creators rights in the AI age to the need for an effective private copying regime which is currently lacking in Bulgaria. CISAC Director General Gadi Oron and Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe Mitko Chatalbashev joined MUSICAUTOR CEO Ivan Dimitrov, FILMAUTOR’s President, Stanislav Todorov and CEO Maria Palaurova.
Earlier CISAC’s Presidency and DG met with members of the members of the Bulgarian parliament for further discussions on changes of copyright legislation – thanks as always for your support, CISAC Vice-Presidents Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Arturo Marquez and Kazuhiko Fukuoji.
