7 copyright users' organisations flag up rights users concerns in joint publication and seminar
Next June 20th in Brussels, seven associations participating in the Copyright Users Platform (CUP) will be presenting a joint publication describing some of the concerns and risks which copyright users are increasingly being confronted with. These seven organisations are: ACT, AER, ECCA, EBU, EICTA, HOTREC and PEARLE*. The publication is intended to present in a non-exhaustive way, information on the rights that different users need and insight into some of the urgent issues currently at stake.
This publication will be made available to the participants of a Seminar jointly organised by the CUP and entitled ìTime to review copyright management in Europeî held in Brussels on June 20th. At this event, representatives from different industries will set out copyright usersí concerns about the current operation of collective rights management in the European Union. A number of distinguished panellists from the European Parliament and European Commission have been invited to debate these issues with the copyright users.
This seminar is the first opportunity for rights users and their organisations to raise national and EU policy-makers awareness of the need for reform of the collective management system.
