Distribution basis 100% per role or 100% per category in IDA

Question

Camille Lesaichot · Accepted Answer

When the distribution basis is 100% per role, the weighting between the different roles is not provided by IDA. When the work is broadcast, the CMO from the broadcasting country shall apply its own rules to determine how to weight the roles. If a CMO only represent one of the roles, it only takes into consideration this role.
In your example from below:

If the work is broadcast (for example) in the UK, Directors’UK would only take into consideration the RE role, and ignore the AS and SDC roles.
If the work is broadcast in France, SACD will take into consideration the RE, AS, and SDC roles and apply its own distribution rules to separate the royalties collected to attribute them to each role. The split between roles is not necessarily equal, it depends on the rules of each CMO.

Role	%	Author	% within role (each role = 100)
RE	100	JOHN DOE	100
AS	100	CEPPI ASTUDILLO	30
AS	100	BLEYCHER SANDOVAL	70
SDC	100	CEPPI ASTUDILLO	20
		BLEYCHER SANDOVAL	20
		LOUIT NEVISTIC	20
		NOEL	20
		HUGO	20

The fact that each role sums 100% does not result in a conflict (as long as the total per role ≤100%) but it implies that the balance between all the roles is decided by the CMO that collects and distributes the royalties.

However, this option enables to register works with authors from different CMOs where the rules of sharing are different. It is more flexible. Example: ATN considers that the text category should be split AS= 50, SDC = 50; whereas SACD considers that AS=90, SDC=10. This option enables us not to create a conflict, but to allow each CMO to apply its own rules.

When the distribution basis is 100% per role, the weighting between the different roles is not provided by IDA. When the work is broadcast, the CMO from the broadcasting country shall apply its own rules to determine how to weight the roles. If a CMO only represent one of the roles, it only takes into consideration this role.
In your example from below:

If the weight is equal, then the work would be registered as follows:

Category	%	Role	%	Author	% within role (each role = 100)	% within category (each category = 100)
TXT	100	AS	50	CEPPI ASTUDILLO	30	15 = 50*30/100
		AS	50	BLEYCHER SANDOVAL	70	35
		SDC	50	CEPPI ASTUDILLO	20	10
				BLEYCHER SANDOVAL	20	10
				LOUIT NEVISTIC	20	10
				NOEL	20	10
				HUGO	20	10

If the weight is 10% for SDC / 90% for AS (as SACD would do according to our rules), then the work would be registered as follows:

Category	%	Role	%	Author	% within role (each role = 100)	% within category (each category = 100)
TXT	100	AS	90	CEPPI ASTUDILLO	30	27 = 90*30/100
		AS	90	BLEYCHER SANDOVAL	70	63
		SDC	10	CEPPI ASTUDILLO	20	2
				BLEYCHER SANDOVAL	20	2
				LOUIT NEVISTIC	20	2
				NOEL	20	2
				HUGO	20	2

This option gives more precise information but it is more strict: it obliges all the registering CMOs to agree on the weighting between the different roles. In my example below, if some of the authors would be registered by SACD and others by ATN, it would be impossible to register the work 100% per category without creating a conflict.

Correspondence roles/categories

The nomenclature gives you the correspondence between roles in IDA, categories in IDA and roles in IPI: tab STD_ROLES_CATEGORIES. According to this document, SDC role in IDA corresponds to AS role in IPI so you do not need to register WP in IPI.

However, for APW (author of the pre-existing work) indeed it could be necessary to register WP role in IPI
