ADAGP Announces the Failure of Negotiations with Meta to Renew the October 2024 Agreement
In October 2024, ADAGP and Meta entered into an agreement to provide appropriate remuneration to artists whose works are shared on Meta’s content-sharing platforms (Instagram, Facebook, etc.).
The agreement has now expired, without the parties being able to agree on the terms of its renewal.
ADAGP deeply regrets this situation, which affects the remuneration of tens of thousands of artists and places users of Meta’s services in a state of legal uncertainty.
ADAGP recalls that, pursuant to Article L. 137-2 of the French Intellectual Property Code, providers of online content-sharing services must make good-faith efforts to obtain authorization to make available works uploaded by their users.
Although it remains open to sincere discussions that could lead to a balanced agreement based on objective and transparent information, ADAGP currently has no choice but to bring the dispute before the courts.
ansparents, l’ADAGP n’a aujourd’hui pas d’autre choix que de soumettre le litige à l’appréciation du juge.
