I.-Collective management organisations are legal entities constituted in any legal form whose main purpose is to manage copyright or rights related to copyright on behalf of several holders of these rights, as defined in Books I and II of this Code, for their collective benefit, either by virtue of legal provisions or in performance of a contract.
These organisations must:
1° Either be controlled by their members who hold the rights mentioned in the first paragraph;
2° Or be non-profit-making.
They act in the best interests of the rightholders they represent and may not impose on them obligations which are not objectively necessary to protect their rights and interests or to ensure the effective management of their rights.
II.-Collective management organisations may carry out actions to promote culture and provide social, cultural and educational services in the interests of the rightholders they represent and the public.
