ADAGP acts not only in France
but worldwide, through the network of more than forty
societies abroad which manage its members' rights in
their respective territories. Reciprocally, ADAGP manages

Thanks ot its image bank,
ADAGP is able to provide users with very high-quality
digital images together with the accompanying rights.
Hence users of works benefit from a one-stop shop to
obtain images and the corresponding exploitation licences
fro them.
Beeing non-assignalbe, inalienable and imprescritible,
the moral rights remain attached to the person of the
author or the author's successors and thus cannot be
defended by ADAGP.
