In terms of the money that is collected in relation to reproduction, to receive royalties, there has to be a right recognized in the law. Then, the right is exercised. The Copyright Act gives authors and producers a right of reproduction. So it is producers and authors who receive the money. That is also true for performers. There are performers who are also authors, and authors who are not performers but are producers. For example, Mario Chenart is an author.
