Creative Commons and Collecting Societies pilots for the music sector

• Session type: Panel
• Leads: Diane Peters, Paul Keller, Claudio Ruiz, Carolina Botero
• Location:
• Time: 15:30 - 16:30
• Description: It has been 7 years since the first CC collecting society pilot launched with Buma/Stemra (Holland), implementing a project where members could use Non Commercial CC licenses, and BUMA could collect royalties for all other uses outside the scope of those licences. In 2013, Buma/Stemra the pilot concluded and the society has now made the ability of its members to use the NC licenses a permanent option for its members. There are other pilots in Europe and an increasing interest in Latin America where Creative Commons is working with at least 3 new possible pilots. It is an excellent opportunity to review the pilots to date and consider their future role. Importantly, the European Union is debating a new directive (law) on collective management of rights. As part of that debate, the ability of members to use open content licenses is currently being discussed. Those discussions have netted various policy proposals, such as the right to use Creative Commons NC licenses, or allow members to withdraw works from collective management altogether. This discussion has the potential to solve the issue in the European context.
