Alliance to Advocate for Improvements to Legislation for European Musicians
Antwerp, 7 March 2011: Featured Artists Coalition (UK), Technopol (FRA) and DJ Monitor (the Netherlands) have joined forces with Younison to advocate for changes to the collective rights management framework in the European Union (EU), in order to ensure that artists are accurately and efficiently rewarded for the commercialization and use of their creative works across the EU.
The alliance, under the leadership of Younison, will promote the creation of a transparent and accountable system governing the commercialisation of individual artists’ works in Europe, with European authors’ societies held subject to strict transparency and accountability requirements. In addition, it will advocate for the introduction of new rules enabling licensing of full music repertoires across the single market in order to help end fragmentation in the European online music market.
“With the addition of Featured Artists Coalition , Technopol and DJ Monitor, Younison has come to truly represent the groundswell of support that exists among European artists for greater transparency and accountability in the exploitation of their creative works. Together we will use our influence to ensure that European policymakers hear the voice of artists as they deliberate over the much-needed modernisation of Europe’s framework Directive on collective rights management.
“A true digital single market will benefit artists, consumers and industry alike and set the stage for the future of creativity in Europe. By embracing technology and transparency and ensuring that artists are promptly and fairly remunerated for the commercialisation and use of their creative works, Europe’s cultural diversity will continue to thrive. We will work together to make this happen,” said Kelvin Smits, Younison Director.
