| Summary: | In accordance with the Law no. 8/1996 („the Law”), the performers are required to exercise their rights through collective management for a range of economic rights provided for in article 1231 of the Law. A number of non-profit associations of various intellectual property right holders were established in this sense. Among them, CREDIDAM is the Performers’ Association, apart from that of authors (UCMR-ADA) or of that of phonogram producers (UPFR). Thorough a series of ORDA’s Decisions, these Associations have each of them received a certain role in the collection of the rights which must be collectively managed. CREDIDAM activity is strictly regulated by Law; the duties and activities that it can carry on are performed under the provisions of the special law, the Law 8/1996 on copyright and related rights, and under their own Articles of Association. As a trustee, CREDIDAM activity consists in collecting the remuneration due to performers by the companies that use their artistic performances, and distribution of the appropriate remuneration to the artists, depending on the actual use of the Repertoire based on which they empowered CREDIDAM.” |
