How does ADAGP manage Reproduction and Representation Rights for its members? de ses membres ?
ADAGP manages reproduction and representation rights in two ways :
-
Ordinary uses : ADAGP directly manages
For "ordinary" uses (an isolated reproduction within a book or magazine, etc.), the ADAGP issues the authorization directly on behalf of its members, in accordance with its scale and statutes.
-
More important uses : ADAGP contacts the artist or rightholder
For more important uses, which particularly highlight the work of an artist (publication dedicated to an artist’s work, reproduction on a magazine cover, advertising, spin-offs, change of the work, etc.): ADAGP systematically contacts its members to determine their wishes, to inform the potential user of the artist’s conditions and to verify that they have been met before granting or refusing authorization.
