Article L132-21 of the French Intellectual Property Code

The entertainment entrepreneur is required to declare to the author or his representatives the exact programme of public performances and to provide them with a justified statement of his receipts. He must pay the stipulated royalties to the author or his representatives on the due dates.

However, communes, for the organisation of their local and public festivals, and popular education societies, approved by the administrative authority, for sessions organised by them as part of their activities, must benefit from a reduction in these royalties.
