Since 1999, the AKKA / LAA authors’ association has been compiling information on the most widely used works for which authors have been charged for the past year. The AVIS now allows this.
“The Copyright Infinity Award (ABB) is a reminder of the ways in which a work released in the world can go, even if the author did not even imagine it. Whether in a rock opera, a painting or part of it suddenly becomes necessary for a book artist or a museum, the work can be forgotten for “years and then reborn in an unpredictable form,” writes AKKA / LAA representatives.
