		Collecting Societies are voluntary associations of right holders (authors, interpreters, editors and others) that aim to protect their interests in their countries and also abroad.
		Collecting societies also seek to sign agreements with other collecting societies established in other countries, due to the cross-border dimension of the exploitation of copyright and neighbouring rights.
		Collecting societies agree that each one will collect the remuneration to pay the copyright or neighbouring rights holder resident in one of the countries and send the amount of money to the corresponding collecting society in that country of residence.

	Copyright collective - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A copyright collective (also known as a copyright collecting agency or collecting society) is a body created by private agreements or by copyright law that collects royalty payments from various individuals and groups for copyright holders.
		They may have the authority to license works and collect royalties as part of a statutory scheme or by entering into an agreement with the copyright owner to represent the owners interests when dealing with licensees and potential licensees.
		There are also collectives that collect royalties for copies from magazines and scholarly journals such as Access copyright in Canada.

		Collecting societies enter into exclusive licences with their members pursuant to which the members entrust to the collecting society the administration and enforcement of their rights of copyright.
		Currently, a member of a collecting society is effectively prevented from managing on-line usage of her repertoire through several collecting societies, from self-managing her on-line rights, and from delegating on-line rights management to any entity other than a collecting society.

		The collections of the Cambridge Historical Society are currently comprised of approximately 50 separate manuscript collections that serve to document Cambridge history from the late 17th to the mid-20th centuries.
		For the Society to become a true repository of Cambridge history representative of the entire city, the current collections must be significantly broadened in size and in scope in order to more accurately represent the diverse communities that have historically contributed and continue to contribute to its development.
		The Society may permit publication or other educational or commercial uses at the discretion of the Executive Director, in accordance with the prevailing professional standards and so long as that use is deemed in the best interests of the Society and is not inconsistent with its educational mission.

		In the GEMA and GVL decisions 2, the Commission has stated that a collecting society in a dominant position is not allowed to exclude rightowners from other Member States, and that on the other hand collecting societies should not limit a member's ability to leave the society by joining the society of another Member State.
		This is a problem under Article 86 since a collecting society is, for its own territory and for the category of rights it represents, normally the only possibility for rightowners to ensure the management of their rights and is therefore in a dominant position.
		That society centrally collects the royalties which are subsequently passed on to the relevant societies in the different Member States whose rights have been used for the manufacture of the record.

	A Better Way Forward: Voluntary Collective Licensing of Music File Sharing \| Electronic Frontier Foundation
		Even though these collecting societies get a fair bit of criticism, there's no question that the system that has evolved for radio is preferable to one based on trying to sue radio out of existence one broadcaster at a time.
		Because a collective licensing solution will depend on a single collecting society issuing blanket licenses covering all (or nearly all) music copyrights, there will need to be some antitrust regulation of the collecting society to ensure that it does not abuse its market power.
		Copyright holders (and perhaps the collecting society itself) would continue to be entitled to enforce their rights against "free-loaders." Instead of threatening them with ruinous damages, however, the collecting society can offer stragglers the opportunity to pay a fine and get legal.
