Overview: This document examines the conditions for an efficient collective administration of copyright. Copyright collecting societies (CCS) play a key role in the field of copyright management. They are non-governmental non-profit organizations, which administer the rights of copyright holders. They negotiate licenses with users and receive payments they distribute among their members. On the one hand, given the emergence of self-help systems, opponents to collective administration argue that digital technologies permits to reduce transaction costs in such a manner that these private institutions-and, according to the contract law paradigm, copyright law itself-turn out to be unnecessary.
