Musicians and Copyright

Musicians and Copyright explores the role of Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) in shaping the music industry from the mid-nineteenth century to today. Edited by V�roniquePouillard, Marius Buning, and Mala Loth, the book traces the development of CMOs and their impact on copyright and cultural production. Through historical analysis, it examines the challenges CMOs have faced, from colonial contexts to European integration and the digital age, and shows how CMOs have navigated regulatory changes, technological shifts, and internal politics. Offering a detailed history of these important institutions, Musicians and Copyright is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of music, law, and the cultural industries.
