Gestión colectiva o gestión independiente. El papel de las sociedades de gestión colectiva en la industria de la música ecuatoriana.

Abstract

Article 22 of the Constitution provides for the right of persons to benefit from the protection of moral and economic rights that correspond to them for their scientific, literary or artistic productions. Therefore, to collect these rights, our legislation provides for the existence of copyright collectives; however, the rights holder is not obliged to join these, so it is pertinent to analyze the legal aspects of the owner's choice between the individual or collective management of their rights. The management of copyright and related rights comprises the granting of licenses to users, auditing, monitoring the exercise of rights, protection of copyright and related rights, collection of income from the use of rights and the distribution of the amounts that must be paid to rights holders.
