Summary
Collective Rights Management Organisations (CMOs) are necessary institutions for the enforcement of copyrights. The EU is currently in the process of implementing a harmonised legal framework for the activities of these organisations. Thereby, the interests of all stakeholders, i.e. of the users (licensees) and the right-holders (creators and creative industries) need to be taken into account. The Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition contributes to this process through further research and providing critical and constructive advice to the European and national legislature.
