A class of bivariate distributions that generalize Marshall-Olkin's one is characterized through a functional equation which involves two associative operations. The obtained distributions concentrate positive mass on the line \(x=y\) when the two associative operations coincide; otherwise a positive mass is concentrated on a continuous monotone function.
