Management of Copyright and Related RightsMonitoringThe Commission has now completed the assessment of Europe's online music sector in the light of the Commission Recommendation 2005/737/EC of 18 October 2005 on collective cross-border management of copyright and related rights for legitimate online music services. The attached 'summary report' presents the results of the monitoring. The 'call for comments' launched on 17 January 2007 yielded 89 replies from a wide variety of stakeholders that have a direct or indirect interest in how music is licensed for online services that are accessible across the Community. All 79 non-confidential contributions are now made available on this website.
RecommendationThe European Commission has 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.
