Highlights
Following Adami’s successful inclusion of a legal minimum
pay guarantee, the negotiation between performers’ orga-
nisations and producers resulted in a historic agreement
on 13 May 2022!
This is a major step forward for performers in the movement
towards fair value sharing. For the rst time, the contractual
conditions that set the remuneration of performers will be
regulated.
There is now a common basis for performers’ remunera-
tion. A monitoring commiee involving all the signatories
is responsible for expanding the reach of this agreement
and tailoring it to the realities of the music market.
In addition to the progress made for artists, the agreement
establishes a new trust-based relationship between produ-
cers and performers.
The question of the scope of application of private copy
remuneration (PCR) was once again brought before the
Council of State (this time for refurbished devices), and
its bases were once again conrmed by the High Court.
PCR does indeed apply to refurbished devices. It can be
applied according to a specic scale (between 35% and
40% reduction compared to new products). PCR was the-
refore conrmed on 12 January 2023 by the commiee’s
re-adoption of this adapted scale for private copy.
The issues now relate to the commission’s implementation
of new usability studies of possible changes to the existing
scales, and the continuation the work initiated to integrate
computers’ internal hard drives. Finally, as the issue of
“private copy in the cloud” has been seled by the Court
of Justice of the European Union, the question must also
be addressed as to whether remote storage services are
similarly subject to this ruling.
In 2022, the Standing Commiee on the Audit of Collec-
tive Management Organisations, a body of the Court of
Auditors, turned its aentions to the following performers’
organisations: the Société des Artistes Interprètes (Society
of Performance Artists - SAI), Adami and Spedidam.
Adami welcomes the positive ndings of this especially
thorough investigation. The audit commiee highlighted
that “Adami’s organisation appears to be well structured
overall, based on formalised procedures aimed at ensuring
compliance with the principles of governance and ethics.”
It also noted “a robust overall management system” as well
as a “healthy nancial situation”.
The reform of our nancial assistance for artistic projects
also received its approval. The audit commiee observed
that this reform “will also improve the transparency and
fairness of the ways that assistance is allocated […], while
reducing the risk of conicts of interest.”
