Collective Management of Copyright and Related Rights external link

Kluwer Law International, 2025, ISBN: 9789403546469

Abstract

Collective Management of Copyright and Related Rights, currently in its fourth edition, provides an exhaustive analysis of the various operational collective management organization (CMO) models, their rights and obligations vis-à-vis authors, other rightholders and users, the acquisition of the legal authority to license and (most importantly) the rights to license digital uses of protected material, and the creation (or improvement) of information systems to deal with the increasingly complex tasks of rights management and licensing. Over the past three decades, CMOs have become the nerve centres of copyright licensing in virtually every country. Their expertise and knowledge of copyright law and management have proven essential to making copyright work in the digital age. However, they have also been at the centre of debates about their effectiveness, transparency and governance.

AI Music Outputs: Challenges to the Copyright Legal Framework download

2022

Abstract

This report examines the application of EU copyright and related rights law to outputs generated by or with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, tools or techniques (AI outputs), with a focus on outputs in the musical domain. The Report examines the question: How can and should EU copyright and related rights law protect AI musical outputs? The interdisciplinary (legal and empirical) research involves: (i) analyzing of the protection of AI outputs under EU copyright and related rights law; (ii) examining the attribution of authorship and ownership to (natural and legal) persons involved in the creation or production of AI outputs; (iii) proposing interpretative guidelines and policy recommendations on increasing legal certainty regarding the protection, authorship, and ownership of copyright and related rights over AI outputs, especially music outputs.
