In a sea of audiovisual content, our laser focus is on the royalties that accrue to the producers
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 the operators, and distributes them to the entitled rightsholder.
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.
Our expertise?
Secondary rights. Trust us
Secondary rights are the rights that the operators must acquire from the producers to distribute to the public the TV channels that include the producer’s audiovisual work. AGICOA will conclude licenses with the operators and collect the royalties from them on behalf of the producers.
