| About |
FilmJus is a Hungarian collective administration society for the protection of audiovisual authors' and producers' rights, in the territory of Hungary. FilmJus was authorized by the competent Ministry to perform collective administration in 1997.
FilmJus represents the following rights holders: |
| - |
directors, |
| - |
directors of photography, |
| - |
writers of audiovisual works (including scriptwriters and the writers of the pre-existing literary works) and |
| - |
film producers. |
|
| The activity of our organization includes the distribution of blank tape levies and remunerations for simultaneous, unaltered retransmission by cable. |
| - |
The so-called blank tape levy (which is due to compensate rightholders for the private purpose copying of their works and other subject matter) is to be paid by the manufacturer of the blank carrier, or in case of manufacture abroad by the person obliged under the law to pay customs duties, or - in the absence of obligation to pay customs duties - by the person who imports them and by their first domestic distributor, under joint liability. |
| - |
The simultaneous cable retransmission remunerations are to be paid by the cable service providers.
|
|
The remunerations for private copying and for retransmission by cable are collected by Artisjus - the society performing collective administration of rights in literary and musical works - in the terrirory of Hungary for all categories of rights holders. The remunerations due to directors, cinematographers, writers of audiovisual works and film producers are distributed by FilmJus.
Our distribution is based on the Rules of Distribution. Please find the text in this separate document.
FilmJus makes deductions from the collected remunerations for the purposes of administration costs and - if necessary - for the reserve fund.
For year 2010 the deduction's percentage for administration costs is 11 %.

The represented rightholders
In Hungary the collective administration system is of an "extended" nature by law which means that if a collecting society is mandated to manage a certain right by a large number of right holders (and receives the Ministry's approval), the effect of such joint management is extended by law also to this right of those rightholders who have not entrusted the organization to manage their rights.
Practically this means that FilmJus represents all Hungarian authors and producers (and their legal successors).
Considering the international activity please see the separate file containing the (reciprocal) representation agreements with foreign sister societies. Based on these contracts FilmJus also represents thousands of foreign authors.
FilmJus is an ordinary member of CISAC.
