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 archive this goal ('Negotiations').

Priorities

1. Increase usage of CC license usage in jurisdiction
2. Increase profitability of cc license users
3. Support non-exclusive collecting societies

NOTE: While many copyright holders work with Collecting Societies, it is important to be cordial with collecting societies and provide information about integrating Creative Commons licenses, but be mindful of overall #Priorities.
