Authorisation for rights management by the collective management organisation covers, at the rightholder’s choice, all or some of the rights, categories of rights, types of works or other protected subject matter and territories defined by the organisation’s articles of association or general regulations. The scope of this authorisation is specified in a document to which the rightholder has given his consent, including by electronic means.
The freedom to define the extent of the rights that their holder authorises an organisation to manage does not prevent the organisation from determining, in the light of its corporate purpose, activity and resources, the cases in which a contribution of indissociable rights may be imposed with a view to ensuring their efficient management.
