Agicoa

Established in 1981, AGICOA is a non-profit organization that monitors the use of audiovisual works on cable or any other similar distribution means, collects the royalties from operators, and redistributes them to the entitled rightsholder. AGICOA is strictly neutral, operating and treating all rightsholders equally regardless of their commercial weight or nationality. In an ocean of content, AGICOA is a compass that helps audiovisual producers and operators navigate a challenging legal environment. AGICOA understands the rights and obligations of each stakeholder. We ensure reliability, transparency, and efficiency in licensing audiovisual content to operators and collecting secondary rights royalties for producers. AGICOA assists producers in all aspects of their secondary rights management, from the declarations of the works through negotiating and licensing until final payment. AGICOA helps operators to obtain the necessary authorizations from the producers for the use of their work, and provide them assurance they comply with their copyright obligations. It also helps them meet the standard requirements of royalties’ payment.
