Before leaving collective licensing, we should consider another area where the technique is given legislative force: the cable retransmission of broadcasts. Because cable retransmissions are usually simultaneous, being concerned with overcoming reception problems rather than with the creation of a new broadcast, a method of getting automatic permission to use the broadcast material is essential for the cable operator’s peace of mind. The EC directive on satellite broadcasting and cable transmissions makes collective licensing the norm for this activity, and also insists that dispute resolution procedures are set up to ensure that operators are not disadvantaged by having licences refused.
