We distribute the rights we receive from the users of your creations (TV channels, cable companies, VOD platforms, etc.) on the basis of:

• the playlists that we receive from them;
• the distribution key agreed with any co-authors when declaring the work.

Do you notice that your work is being used in public? Let us know! You will thus receive your remuneration with certainty.

For DVDs, a collection of 6.1% on the wholesale price is made. It is then distributed according to the same distribution key of the audiovisual work.

For each remuneration you get for your copyrights, you receive a statement including:

• the gross amount of your royalties;
• the commission charged for the management of your rights;
• the contribution to the social and cultural fund;
• the withholding tax that we pay to the tax authorities.
