Art 19 of the Digital Single Market EU Directive (EU 2019/790) introduced a transparency obligation. It requires the contractual partners of authors of copyrighted content (together referred to as “authors”) as well as performing artists (together referred to in these FAQ as “performing artists” (together referred to in these FAQ as “creatives or talent”)) to report annually about the exploitation of their works and performances and in particular as regards modes of exploitation, all revenues generated and remuneration due. Every EU country has its own interpretation of what the obligation entails.
