This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collective management of copyrights is a highly topical issue in the United States which is exemplified by the review of the Consent Decrees between 2014 and 2016 and recent rate court proceedings. Furthermore, the economic and technical environment for the collective management of copyrights has undergone profound changes in recent years; this implies the need for research on the corresponding legal framework, also de lege ferenda. A comparative approach was chosen in order to highlight that similar problems occur in the United States and the European Union. Those problems are, however, not always addressed in the same way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a utilitarian perspective, laws on collective administration of copyright and related rights are necessary to bridge the gap between rights holders and users in order to achieve welfare maximisation. The deregistration of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) in Kenya, the collapse of the South African Recording Rights Association Limited in South Africa and the ongoing battles involving the Music Copyright Society of Nigeria (MCSN) and the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) in Nigeria are just a few recent examples that highlight the need to rethink the legal framework for regulation of collective management organisations (CMOs) in Africa.In this regard, this article begins with an examination of the legislative frameworks for regulation of CMOs in Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria by considering whether CMOs, once accredited, are adequately supervised by the State to ensure that the former operate effectively for the benefit of both rights holders and users. After examining the state of the respective country laws, this article reviews the current copyright reform initiatives in each of the countries and whether the tabled legislative proposals would be able to address the persisting regulatory challenges in the collective administration of copyright and related rights. This article concludes with several recommendations on reviewing the respective legislative frameworks for regulation of CMOs, the most important being the urgent need for empirical research on the impact of various legislative provisions on the collective management systems of Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria.

Download or read book Introduction to Copyright and Collective Management in Competition Law written by Jorg Sladic and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Copyright is an absolute intellectual property right. Historically it is of territorial nature. One of the central issues of copyright is the remuneration of authors. A copyright confers to its holder a legal monopoly comprising certain economic rights that are granted for pecuniary consideration. The economically most efficient way of management of copyright's pecuniary consideration is the collective management. However, collective management covers due to territorial nature of copyright only territory of a certain state. In competition law that might be considered as a monopoly by collecting societies limited to borders of states, in other words there are issues of a possible abuse of a dominant position.

Download or read book Lion s Share written by Veit Erlmann and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of apartheid, South Africa undertook an ambitious revision of its intellectual property system. In Lion’s Share Veit Erlmann traces the role of copyright law in this process and its impact on the South African music industry. Although the South African government tied the reform to its postapartheid agenda of redistributive justice and a turn to a postindustrial knowledge economy, Erlmann shows how the persistence of structural racism and Euro-modernist conceptions of copyright threaten the viability of the reform project. In case studies ranging from antipiracy police raids and the crafting of legislation to protect indigenous expressive practices to the landmark lawsuit against Disney for its appropriation of Solomon Linda’s song "Mbube" for its hit “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” from The Lion King, Erlmann follows the intricacies of musical copyright through the criminal justice system, parliamentary committees, and the offices of a music licensing and royalty organization. Throughout, he demonstrates how copyright law is inextricably entwined with race, popular music, postcolonial governance, indigenous rights, and the struggle to create a more equitable society.
Download or read book Collective Rights and Digital Content written by Cláudio Lucena and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book starts with an exercise, proposing a theoretical reflection on the technological path that, over time, has transformed the ways we produce, consume and manage intellectual content subject to copyright protection. This lays the groundwork for a further analysis of the main legal aspects of the new European Directive, its improvements, its tendencies and its points of controversy, with special and more concrete attention to how it proposes to address the issues of competition, transparency and multi-territorial licensing. Digital technologies, networks and communication have boosted the production and distribution of intellectual content. These activities are based on a renewable and infinite resource – creativity – which turns this content into strategic artistic, cultural, social, economic and informational assets. Managing the rights and obligations that emerge in this system has never been an easy task; managing them collectively, which is more often than not the case, adds even more complexity. The European Directive on collective management of copyright and related rights and multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online use in the internal market is a policy initiative that seeks to establish an adequate legal framework for the collective management of authors’ rights in a digital environment, recognizing this goal as crucial to achieving a fully integrated Single Market. Part of the Digital Agenda for Europe, it is an effort to promote simplification and to enhance the efficiency of collective rights management by tackling three of the main issues that are currently undermining the business model of collecting societies: competition, transparency and multi-territorial licensing. The book is intended to support students, academics and practitioners by enhancing their general and legal grasp of these phenomena, while also encouraging their collaboration with policymakers and other interested parties in the ongoing task of transposing the Directive into concrete national legislation.
