Good Governance in the Provision of Social, Cultural, and Educational Services by Collective Management Organizations of Copyright and Related Rights

TAČR: Programme for the Support of Applied Social Sciences and Humanities Research, Experimental Development, and Innovation ÉTA

The aim of the project is to map the current state of social, cultural, and educational services (SKV services) provided by collective management organizations of copyright and related rights (CMOs), to evaluate the interests and needs of the beneficiaries of these services, and to assess the legal and tax-accounting aspects of SKV service provision, leading to the development of recommended “good governance” practices.

The project’s outputs are intended to support application guarantors in supervising these organizations (Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic) and in setting up internal processes within CMOs that ensure the most efficient provision of SKV services, while respecting rules arising from reciprocal agreements (between CMOs in the Czech Republic and abroad), international and EU law, and the Copyright Act, as well as maintaining a fair balance between represented rights holders, users, and beneficiaries of SKV services.

Cirg - about

CIRG – the Cultural Industries Research Group focuses on research into cultural and media industries, particularly on current issues, challenges, and conflicts arising from tensions between intellectual property law, the business models of cultural industries, the digitalization and platformization of cultural sectors, and changing consumer habits. The group’s name is an acronym of its English title, Cultural Industries Research Group. CIRG is an informal association of experts from media studies, intellectual property law, media law, media ethics, cultural economics and cultural management, sociology of culture, and data analysis. The group operates on the basis of project-based funding through applied research projects (TAČR, NAKI, EEA and Norway Grants, OP JAK Intersectoral Cooperation), basic research projects (GAČR, ZIF Bielefeld, OP VVV Excellent Research, DFG), as well as contract research (State Cinematography Fund, Association of Audiovisual Producers).
