Desmond Oriakhogba recently published a set of suggestions for amendments to the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Good Practice Toolkit for Collective Management Organisations 2021 (CMO Toolkit) through American University’s Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property. The suggestions are intended to prevent CMOs from constituting obstacles to open access non-commercial licensing and L&Es-enabled access for education and research. The suggestions also cover good practices that will prevent CMOs from impeding the smooth and effective development of artificial intelligence systems.
Recommendations include protecting rightholders’ ability to make their work available via open access, ensuring that licenses granted by CMOs do not override existing L&Es, and ensuring that CMOs are entitled to a single equitable remuneration without requiring that AI companies to seek authorisation from CMOs for the direct or indirect use of copyright-protected works.
