The European Commission on 12 October 2005 adopted a Recommendation on the management of online rights in musical works. The recommendation put forward measures for improving the EU-wide licensing of copyright for online services. Improvements were necessary because new Internet-based services such as webcasting or on on-demand music downloads needed a license that covered their activities throughout the EU. The absence of EU-wide copyright licenses had been one factor that had made it difficult for new Internet-based music services to develop their full potential. |
