Article 40 of the Act of 15 June 2018 mandates that collecting societies must publicly disclose information about authors who have not received their remuneration within 3 months of the initial payment distribution date. Article 39(2) of the same Act requires these societies to complete the distributions within 9 months from the end of the year in which they were collected.
Following the law (Article 40 of the Act of 15 June 2018), KOPIPOL is publishing a list of authors entitled to royalties from 2022 who we were unable to find. This list includes:
