Today, ECSA publishes its Report on #Audiovisual Composers' Contracts. Drawing on consultations with our members from across Europe, the report outlines and denounces various harmful and persistent contractual challenges faced by European audiovisual #composers, such as: 🔷 #Buyout contracts and work made for hire provisions 🔷 Pseudo-publishing 🔷 The waiving of moral rights The report also provides 7️⃣ key recommendations to tackle these harmful practices. 📢 We call on policy makers and the audiovisual industry to renew their efforts to tackle buyout contracts and other harmful practices in composers’ contracts, so that composers can truly benefit from appropriate and proportionate remuneration for the exploitation of their works. 🔗 Full report:
