Younison to attend public EU hearing on behalf of artists

Posted by Kelvin on Apr 22, 2010 at 21:01

On friday 23th of April the Eu commission will entertain a public hearing concerning the collective rights management and how to improve the way it is currently organized. The panel - populated only by European collecting societies, thus excluding the direct voice of the artists - will be consulted on the way the business should be run in the future . Clearly there is again a conflict of interest when the collecting societies are the only ones being consulted on the way the collective collection should best be organized ...

Younison will be there asking the right questions and urging for a more transparent and accountable way of redistributing the moneys collected in your name .

We have also written a letter enclosed here to the EU commissioner Barnier who is currently responsible for this hearing and will be overseeing the future legislative work to enhance the Eu market for creative work.

.

We will keep you posted on the outcome of this hearing

International and national private organisations are producing their own private profits in line with their own private objectives.
All quite normal... if it were not for the publicly organized rights and duties of both parties.
A balance is certainly debatable here...

but today, the equilibrium is certainly not reached yet...
