This paper presented in two parts, outlines the development of the extended collective licensing regulations in the UK in Part One. In doing so, the paper draws a line through the failed attempt of the Gowers Review 2006 to the success of the Hargreaves Review 2011 and ultimately to the successful implementation of an extended collective licensing scheme in 2014.
The paper will look at the publishing industry and the relationship between publishers and users within the context of collecting societies and consider whether the Copyright Licensing Agency accurately remunerates the academic author.
