On the contract terms used by non-commercial copyright collecting entities 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner claims that all copyright collecting entities currently offer only exclusive contract terms to artists and accordingly recommends the adoption of EU legislation eliminating such mandatory arrangements, as in the United States. He argues that this would reduce royalties, pointing out that that they are currently the same for all new content, whether economically negligible or widely known and publicized.
