Françoise Benhamou, The body of alimony
The issue of the implementation of the rights of wage-earning authors is raised in many activity sectors; usually solved in France, at least in the private sector, by the overall non-transfer of works to come. This hybrid solution mixes payment by wages and protection of the patrimonial rights of the author-creator; costly in terms of the transactional costs involved, it constitutes a rational answer through the incentives it implies.
