    Commission consults on BUMA and SABAM’s commitments for the licensing of online music. link.

    The Commission strongly supports the "one-stop shop" EEA-wide copyright licensing for legitimate online Internet music services and which include the music repertoires of all societies as foreseen in the so-called Santiago Agreement. It fully acknowledges the need to ensure adequate copyright protection and enforcement against piracy. However, it considers that the restrictions created by the “economic residency clause”, which implies that users can only obtain EEA-wide licences for the online use of music from their national collecting society, may infringe Article 81 of the EC Treaty, as the territorial exclusivity afforded to each of the participating collecting societies is not justified by technical reasons and is irreconcilable with the reach of the Internet.

    Now if only they could figure out a system of selling a DRM'd file to the person instead of to the device...
