On 4 February 2014, the European Parliament approved new rules on music copyright by voting on the new Directive on collective rights management and multi-territorial licensing of musical works for online use. The directive aims to make it easier for online providers to get licences to stream music in more than one EU country. The law, already informally agreed with Council, should stimulate the development of EU-wide online music services for consumers and ensure that artists' rights are better protected and that they receive adequate royalties promptly. Under the new rules, online music service providers in the EU will be able to obtain licenses from collective management organisations representing authors' rights across borders. With licenses covering more than one member state, service providers should find it easier to stream music services across the EU. |
