Virginia Yagüe repeats as president of DAMA

Published on June 27, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Virginia Yagüe was reelected president of DAMA, the entity that manages the copyright of screenwriters and audiovisual directors. For citizens, this ensures the protection of those who create series and films. The organization closed 2025 with 3,414 members and distributed 31.9 million euros, 10% more than the previous year. Continuity in the position reinforces the defense of creators.

How digital management optimizes rights distribution 🎬

DAMA uses digital tracking systems to identify broadcasts on television and streaming platforms. Data is processed through algorithms that allocate royalties based on playback frequency and audience. This technological model enables more precise distribution, reducing errors and delays. In 2025, the 10% increase in distributed rights reflects an improvement in revenue capture from new digital exploitation windows.

More rights and fewer excuses not to watch series 📺

With 31.9 million distributed, screenwriters can afford that coffee while writing their next hit. Yagüe's reelection ensures no one skips payment, even though some viewers still believe series are generated by an algorithm. If you don't pay rights, don't expect a happy ending. Or worse: you might end up watching reruns of Sálvame.
