On 20 June 2018, the FAIR INTERNET coalition issued a statement welcoming the vote of the Legal Affairs’ Committee in favour of a new Article -14a ensuring the payment of fair and proportionate remuneration for performers including for online exploitations.
On 4 June 2018, a number of European performers and audiovisual authors released the following open letter addressed to Members of the Legal Affairs committee of the European Parliament.
A European campaign for the fair treatment of performers in the digital environment.
Performers bring life and soul to artistic works. Without them, Europe would not enjoy the vibrant cultural scene it does today and the creative content sector, which makes a vital contribution to Europe’s economy, would simply not exist. However, performers are still not properly rewarded when their performances are exploited on digital media.
