- I fail to understand how auaiovisudl rights can be licensed collectively. Can you give me one concrete example? Or name a single Society in the world that licenses these rights?Another point. Collective licensing evolved in the mid-19th century to discharge tasks that where to complex or too onerous to be performed by individual rights owners, such as collecting performing royalties from restaurants, shops, etc. But you cannot extend collective licensing to every aspect of licensing like the revised Amendments seek to do because you will impinge on the right of the owner(s) to exercise control over their property. Though substantially different from goods, IP is a property nevertheless.
