European Commission Recommendation on Management of Online Rights in Musical Works |

On October 12th, 2005 the European Commission adopted a recommendation on the management of online rights in musical works. The recommendation puts forward measures for improving the EU-wide licensing of copyright for online services. Improvements are necessary because new Internet-based services such as webcasting or on on-demand music downloads need a license that covers their activities throughout the EU.
The absence of EU-wide copyright licenses has been one factor that has made it difficult for new Internet-based music services to develop their full potential. The recommendation also includes provisions on governance, transparency, dispute settlement and accountability of collective rights managers, which should introduce a culture of transparency and good governance enabling all relevant stakeholders to make an informed decision as to the licensing model best suited to their needs.
