Distribution Rules

If the monies we receive are not pre-allocated to our members by the payee collecting society, 

BECS will use the most appropriate in-house distribution rule taking into account rules applicable in different territories to allocate monies to respective rightsholders.

We consider several factors when determining how money should be shared between programmes and films, and subsequently performers.  To determine who is owed what payment within a production, we analyse and grade cast lists according to credits and importance of role to the storyline.  

The following are rules and policies currently applicable on distributable income:

BECS is taking decisive action to protect performers’ rights. We’ve opted out of the EU text & data mining exception - making clear that our members’ recorded performances cannot be used to train AI without permission, fair pay, and transparency https://becs.org.uk #AI #TDM
