About this book deutschenglish
Music industry meets intellectual property law. Discussion of selected aspects in light of the Austrian Collecting Societies Act 2016
Since physical recordings and music consumption today are not necessarily interlinked anymore, users are downloading, uploading and/or streaming music regardless of time and place. They do so by consent of authors and holders of neighboring rights. Collecting Societies, that administer these rights, grant the licenses needed to users. Directive 2014/26/EU respectively its national implementation in the Austrian Collecting Societies Act 2016 aims to harmonize the laws concerning Collecting Societies of the EU Member States. Against this background selected aspects will be discussed. Does Directive 2014/26/EU providing multi-territorial licensing of right in the musical works for online use in the internal market also establish a Pan-European one-stop-shop? Does the copyright fee ensuring authors and holders of neighboring rights their fair compensation for fair use provisions need to be broadened by introducing a new copyright fee for cloud computing? Do we still need Collecting Societies at all when faced with today´s technological achievements?
