This page collects information about the interaction between various Creative Commons jurisdiction projects and collecting societies. It provides an overview of jurisdictions where Collecting Society members can use Creative Commons licenses ('Projects') and of jurisdictions where there are talks between the jurisdiction project and a collecting society in order to achieve this goal ('Negotiations').

Priorities

  1. Increase usage of CC license in jurisdiction
  2. Increase legal certainty for musicians wishing to use CC licenses
  3. Increase profitability of CC license users
  4. Support non-exclusive collecting societies

NOTE: When interacting with Collecting Society representatives it is important to be cordial with them and provide information about Creative Commons usage (see case studies, documentation and metrics) and integrating Creative Commons licenses (see: CC+, CcREL and web integration). Be be mindful of the overall priorities and ensure that you are in line with the arrangements made as part of ongoing projects
