Amendment 156 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 35
(35) Broadcasting organisations generally rely on a blanket licence from a local collecting society, for their own broadcasts of television and radio programmes which include musical works. This licence is often limited to broadcasting activities. A licence for online rights in musical works would be required in order to allow such television or radio broadcasts to be also available online. To facilitate the licensing of online music rights for t in order to acquire rights to the worldwide repertoire of musical works and to be able to provide the public with television and radio programmes and online services. Such blanket licences for broadcasting organisations are based on their actual needs, have become firmly established and are recognised by rightholders, broadcasting organisations and collecting societies alike. This established purposes of simultaneous and delayed transmission online of television and radio broadcasts, it is necessary to provide for a derogation from the rules that would otherwise apply to the multi-territorial licensing of musical works forractice should be retained by this Directive in order to avoid the application of disparate legislation on the licensing of offline and online uses. Such derogation should be limited to what is necessary to allow access to television or radio programmes online and to material having a clear and subordinate relationship to the original broadcast produced for purposes such as supplementing, previewing or reviewing that television or radio programme. That derogationrvices provided by broadcasting organisations. It is therefore necessary to exclude collecting societies from the scope of Title III as soon as they issue licences to broadcasting organisations. This should not, however, operate so as to distort competition with other services which give consumers access to individual musical or audiovisual works online, or lead to restrictive practices, such as market or customer sharing, in breach ofand must accord with national and EU law, particularly Articles 101 orand 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
