Collective management of rights
According to the Act XCIII of 2016 on Collective management of copyright and related the collective management of rights shall mean the enforcement of copyright and rights related to copyright which are individually non-exercisable due to the character or circumstances of use, and which are, therefore, exercised by organisations established by rightholders for this purpose. Within its competence of the collective management of rights, a collecting society shall
- determine the amount of remunerations and other conditions of use to licensing or the implementation of claims for remuneration;
- monitor how copyright works and subject matter of related rights are used;
- collect and distribute remunerations, or transfer remunerations to other collecting societies for distribution purposes; and
- take action if copyright or related rights are infringed.
