Research for CULT Committee - Cultural diversity and the conditions for authors in the European music streaming market: a bibliographical review

Story of the European Anthem
In the inter-war years, advocates of European unity began pondering the choice of an anthem that would convey the feeling of sharing a common destiny and common values. The creation of the Council of Europe in 1949 spurred further calls to this end. Proposals for scores and lyrics for an anthem for Europe began appearing spontaneously.

Collective rights management of online music
The Commission proposed in July 2012 a Directive which contains general provisions on collective rights management for all sectors, and specific provisions for multi-territorial licensing of online music.

In addition, unlicensed sites continually emerge, with content just a click away. Attempts have been ...

Collecting Societies and Cultural Diversity in the Music Sector
This study investigates how EU policy on music rights licensing, particularly for online services, is affecting cultural diversity. For that purpose, it analyses information on the popularity of different repertoires (Anglo-American, EU and domestic) in recent years in a sample of EU Member States. It finds that current policies are likely to weaken the position of authors and composers, therefore posing a challenge for cultural diversity.
