My audiovisual work is broadcast on television in Belgium. Which royalties will I receive?

In any case, you are entitled to ‘performing rights’ royalties because your works are performed. How much? That depends on a number of parameters: 
 

1. the amount of royalties the broadcaster pays us;

2. the number of works over which we distribute this amount;

3. the number of points we attribute to your work:
 

  • fiction or documentary film: 5 points
  • report, video clip or advertisement: 3 points
  • visual credits: 1 point

  •  

4. the duration of your work;

5. the number of broadcasts;

6. whether your work is a production (on request) of the broadcaster.

 

If your work is a production of the broadcaster, you will not only receive performing rights royalties, but also mechanical royalties. 

The first two parameters of this list vary each year. That is why it is difficult for us to estimate in advance exactly how many royalties a broadcast will generate for you.
