Commission decides about music copyrights managers [01/30/2009] |
|
 |
Despite strong arguments against from the sector, the European Commission decided to ban certain copyright handling practices.
The Commission claims this move is in the interest of authors, who will be free to select Europe's cheapest and most efficient collecting society.
The commissioner also wants some territorial restrictions to be banned, notably those preventing collecting societies from offering licenses to commercial users outside their domestic territory. This practice brings with it burdensome administrative procedures for broadcasters, such as online or satellite media, which act at European level.
The decision applies immediately but does not involve the imposition of fines on the collecting societies it targets. They have now 120 days to inform the Commission about the implementation of the measures requested..
