Op 1 december organiseert het Centre de Recherches Informatique
et Droit in Brussel een workshop rond cross-border rechtenmanagement bij online music services.

Cross-border management of copyright in the field of legal digital music services has encountered significant changes over the recent years.

As a result of the Commission's actions, large right-holders appointed specific agents to grant pan-European licenses. Such market developments have been welcomed by some, criticised by others.
