This course, targeted at anyone intending to learn in-depth about collective management and in particular (CMOs), aims at raising awareness of how creators, users, legislators and society at large benefit from the system of collective management. It covers the workings of collective management of copyright in the categories of music, text and images, works of visual art and photography and dramatic works. After a basic introduction of copyright and related rights which participants should know in advance of the course (see DL-201 Copyright), it lays the ground for the three main elements of a well-functioning copyright system: legislation, policy and management of rights. The overriding principle is that whenever it is impracticable or impossible for IP rights holders to exercise their rights individually, collective management is a feasible solution. The course examines the synergies that exist among stakeholders in the legal, creativity, management, and policy arenas in order to balance the benefits to creators and society. It will also discuss the day-to-day work of CMO’s and how they are governed. Finally, the learners will be able to examine the challenges and opportunities brought about the digital technologies and the internet through pre-planned questions and answers as well as dynamic discussions among peers and experts.
