Performing artists are also asking the government for a career model after the years of the NER

The Előadóművészi Jogvédő Iroda Egyesület (EJI) has proposed a comprehensive package to improve the existential situation of Hungarian performers. They argue that previous administrations have restricted artists' income sources through various measures. The EJI has previously opposed the elimination of certain royalties and won a lawsuit regarding inflation-indexed fees. They are calling for an immediate review of restrictive measures and the establishment of a new career model, including revisions to laws on state support and copyright. The EJI has already distributed 2.3 billion HUF in royalties this year to around 160,000 performers. They emphasize that their proposals do not require significant state commitments and that the ministry is open to discussions, although patience is wearing thin. Additionally, they support the use of artificial intelligence as long as it does not reduce royalties for artists.
