What is a copyright collective?

A copyright collective is an organization that administers the rights of copyright holders. A copyright collective typically acts as an intermediary between copyright holders and users of copyrighted material. In Florida, the collective negotiates licenses with users of copyrighted material, collects and distributes royalties to the copyright holders, and administers complaints and disputes between copyright holders and users. The collective also provides information about copyright law to its members, including the rights of copyright holders and the terms of mutual agreements regarding the use and protection of copyrighted works. Copyright collectives are typically formed by one or more copyright holders who join together to negotiate better terms for the use of their copyrighted material. The collective also negotiates with publishers, broadcasters, and other users of copyrighted material, to ensure the rights of all copyright holders are protected. Copyright collectives can be a great way for copyright holders to ensure the protection of their works, while providing users of the works with a convenient way to access and use copyrighted material.
