2.T4 - SADAIC: Distribución. ¿Qué es el VUELCO?
Understanding Copyright in Argentina: Music Works and SADAIC
Overview of SADAIC's Role
- The lecture discusses how SADAIC collects money on behalf of authors for their works listed in its database, allowing collective management societies to negotiate usage licenses.
- It emphasizes three types of rights related to music: execution and public communication rights, mechanical rights, and synchronization rights.
Types of Rights Explained
- Execution and public communication rights apply when music is performed live or streamed online. Mechanical rights pertain to recordings on physical media.
- Synchronization rights involve coordinating audio with visual content, such as films and advertisements. These categories help identify revenue sources.
Identifiable vs. Non-Identifiable Revenue
- The discussion highlights the distinction between identifiable revenue (from live performances, physical sales, etc.) and non-identifiable revenue from traditional public communication like radio and TV.
- Most radio/TV plays fall into the non-identifiable category; understanding this helps clarify payment discrepancies seen in statements from SADAIC.
Distribution Mechanism for Revenue
- Non-identifiable revenue is informally referred to as "vuelco," which is a pool of unidentified funds that are distributed differently than identifiable funds.
- Identified funds are allocated directly to specific works based on their generated income, while non-identifiable funds require a different distribution approach.
Understanding the "Vuelco" System
- Only recorded works participate in the "vuelco" system; thus, it's crucial to determine what percentage of identified money corresponds to a particular work.
- The example illustrates how both identifiable and non-identifiable revenues are calculated for a specific work (e.g., Work X), emphasizing transparency in fund allocation.
