Reseña del editor:

In the course of the last decade, collective management organizations (CMOs) have become the nerve centres of copyright licensing in Virtually every country. Their expertise and knowledge of coyright law and management have proven essential to make copyright work in the digital age. This book, an extensively revised and updated edition of the only major work on the legal status of CMOs, offers an in-depth analysis of the various operating CMO models, their rithts and obligations vis-a-vis both users and members, acquisition of legal authority to license, and (most important) the rights to license digital uses of protected material and build (or improve current) information systems to deal with ever more complex rights management and licensing tasks. All the Chapters have been updatedn since the 2005 edition, and a new chapter on multi-territorial licensing has been added.

Legal underpinnings covered in the course of the analysis included the 1996 WIPOC Copyright Treaties, then US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Napster case, the Santiago Agreement, relevant EU Papers and the Copyright Directive, and work done by the UN Committee on Economic, social and Cultural Rights.

Part I presents a number of horizontal issues that affect collective management in almost every country. Part II is divided on a geographical basis, focusing on systems repreasentative of the principal models applied in various countries and regions. Each country-specific or region-specific chapter provides a historical overview and a presentation of existing CMOs and their activities, gives financial information where available, describes how CMOs are supervised or controlled how CMOs are supervised or controlled by legislation, and offers thoughts about the challenges facing CMOs in the country or region concerned. Many of these national and regional commentaries are the only such information sources avialable in English.

Whatever the future of copyright holds, it is clear that User will continue to want access and the ability to reuse material lawfully, and authors and other right sholders will want to ensure that they can put some reasonable limits on those uses, CMOs are sure to be critical intermediaries in the process. The second edition of this imporatant resources, with its key insights into the changing nature of collective management, will be of immeasureable value to all concerned with shaping policy towards collective management or working with the ever more coplex legal issues arising in digital age copyright matters.
