"Dailymotion is the first sharing website to renew such a partnership. We are proud of this agreement; it positions us even more strongly as the natural ally of creators by giving them fair remuneration for their works on our website," states Cédric Tournay, CEO of Dailymotion.

"Sacem wants to foster the promotion and broadcast on Internet of the audiovisual and musical works of as many creators as possible. We are therefore delighted with the renewal of an agreement signed with a partner such as Dailymotion. The website very quickly understood the need to respect authors' rights," explains Bernard Miyet, Chairman of Sacem's Management Board.
