My works are distributed digitally

The images of your works may be used on various digital media: websites, social media, newsletters, e-cards, display terminals, multimedia applications, etc.

ADAGP issues licenses for uses and collects the corresponding copyright fees.

What to do as the artist or rights-holder

By joining ADAGP, you have entrusted the management of your reproduction and communication rights to ADAGP, so you don't have to do anything. 

Users need to apply for a license to use your work via the online license application form. Whatever the intended use, ADAGP gathers all the useful information to supervise the use.

Royalty amount

The Multimedia Reproduction Rights Department receives and manages license requests, after gathering all the information required to manage the use in digital media. It determines the amount due based on the Scale of Royalties. 
The amount depends on the type of use, the duration of use and the number of works reproduced. 

See Scale of Royalties

Licensing

In certain cases, a license will be issued only after asking you for your consent first, i.e. for a monograph, modifying the work, use in advertising, etc.

Payment of copyrights

ADAGP will then invoice the copyright fees and pay them to you, after deducting its share for operating costs. 
Copyright fees are paid every half-year and uses of the works are listed on the accompanying statement.

ADAGP also manages your rights abroad via its network of 50 sister societies. In countries where there is no sister society, ADAGP is directly in charge.

If users approach you directly to use your works in digital media, inform them that you are a member of ADAGP and that they need to request a license via our online form. 

Many cultural organizations have contracts with ADAGP, which allow them to benefit from exemptions and discounts. In return, they are committed to upholding copyright law and not asking artists to waive their rights.

You have found unlicensed reproductions of your works on the Internet? ADAGP can step in and regularize any uses subsequent to your membership. 

Send the following information to the ADAGP Multimedia Department:

• title and photograph of the work;
• precise URL link leading to the unlicensed publication;
• your instructions: to remove the publication or to leave it online and collect the amount due.

After verifying the information provided, the Multimedia Department will contact the site(s) in question. Depending on the case, ADAGP may not be able to collect any copyright fees but only have the image removed.
