The Collective Management of Copyright (EU Directive) Regulations 2016 transpose the provisions of the European Union Directive 2014/26/EU into UK law. The regulations govern the collective management of copyright and related rights, aiming to enhance transparency, competition, and efficiency in the collective management organisations (CMOs) that administer rights on behalf of rights holders.
These regulations contribute to creating a fair and competitive environment for the collective management of copyright and related rights, benefiting both rights holders and CMOs while fostering innovation and creativity in the European Union.
