| Asking questions, but is "Beethoven!" the (only) answer? |
1709 Blog's friend
and esteemed academic Prof Estelle Derclaye is conducting research
in the exciting field of collective rights management and would be grateful
if readers could help her addressing a few points by providing some insider
information.
Estelle's main
question is the following:
Is collective
negotiation a common practice in the UK as regards creators? If so, what are
the existing agreements (collective bargaining agreements, framework contracts,
Memorandum of Understanding, etc), their legal effects (mandatory/voluntary,
extended) and their scope?
Also, do you have
any practical information about:
- The articulation between waivers (or legal
presumption of waivers) to exploiters and collective management;
- Dual licensing in the hypothesis of CMO
membership;
- The problem of the so-called buy-out
contracts and creators’ remuneration.
You can deliver
your help by email to estelle.derclaye{at}nottingham.ac.uk. Estelle needs
the answers by 2nd August. This means that you
have just a few days to tell her everything you know about UK collective rights
management.

It's lucky that Beethoven is out of copyright so you can get to use that Peanuts cartoon!
