Will the CRM-directive succeed re-aggregating the mechanical reproduction rights in the Anglo-American music repertoire?

International Journal of Intellectual Property Management (IJIPM), Vol. 7, No. 3/4, 2014

Abstract: Music publishers representing the Anglo-American repertoire withdrew the mechanical rights from collective management after the Commission Recommendation of 18 May 2005 on collective cross-border management of copyright and related rights for legitimate online music services, which - contrary to its objective - is deemed to have made the clearance of online rights in music even more complex for users by adding an extra layer of intermediaries. This paper looks at the positioning of different stakeholders on the issue and questions whether the CRM directive is likely to bring the withdrawn rights back to collective management. Market led solutions and possible review of substantive copyright are also touched upon.
