Later, it is provided comparative analysis pf different jurisdictions by emphasizing the their practice with extended collective management. For such analysis two Nordic countries as a pioneers of this model is chosen – Denmark and Sweden, then United Kingdom and Lithuania. In the Nordic countries such model is considered as a very successful, thus it is useful to analyse the applicability outwards of the Nordic countries. A particular attention is pointed toward this model is because European Commission added this model in reforms, whose purpose for non-longer tradable works, which will be used by culture heritage institutions. As a result, the purpose is to digitalize works, which are no longer available by regular trade ways. The attention in this work is also allocated to the main features of extended collective licencing, as one is – representativeness – since the majority of this model legitimacy is related to collective management organization’s representativeness implementation. In this work, as an example, have been chosen to analyse education area, where extended collective management is applied in order to licence copyrights and related rights. Accordingly, by the comparative analysis it is aimed to make conclusions whether this model could be successful applied in Lithuania. The main conclusion has been done that it take some time and trust on the process when the collective decisions are being legislate. |
