In 1950 ZASP was dissolved and replaced with Stowarzyszenie Polskich Artystów Teatru i Filmu (SPATiF, Association of Polish Theatre and Film Artists).

Ministry of Culture 1 February 1995 issued permission for ZASP forcollective copyright management of theater directors and theater stage designers in the following fields of operation:[3] preservartion, multiplication by any technique, introducing to the market, lending, renting, public performance, displaying, playing, broadcasting, re-broadcasting, making the work publicly available in such a way that everyone can access it at a place and time of their choice.

The permit also covers the management of related rights of performers: actors, soloists, singers, dancers (including the right to collect remuneration) in the fields of exploitation: recording, multiplication by any technique, marketing, lending, rental, broadcasting, re-broadcasting, reproduction, making available to the public artistic fixation in such a way that everyone can have access to it in a place and at a time chosen by them.

Some of them formed a competing organization: Stowarzyszenie Artystów Filmu i Telewizji (Association of Artists of Film and Television).

The final judgment in this case was an important issue during the competition procedure, which in September 2016 led to the selection of Cezary Morawski as the director of the Teatr Polski in Wrocław.
