16. 15

17. 16 1. What kind of access do I want to provide? Keep in mind: Distinguish between metadata and content The more generic and open agreements are, the better. More work on the short-term, but benefits are great in the long term.

18. 17 2. Who are the rights holders? The institution holds all the rights Clearing process = fast and easy. and step 3 is not even necessary. However, most institutions do not hold all rights for all collections Title: Yes nurse, no nurse (Ja zuster, nee zuster). Ep. 15; Cast From collection: Sound and Vision. License: CC BY-SA

19. 18 2. Who are the rights holders? The institution holds some of the rights Title: Abbraccio tra Dario Fo e Franca Rame From collection: Dario Fo e Franca Rame Archive

20. 19 2. Who are the rights holders? (All) rights belong to third parties In performing arts, there are many rights layers (especially for video: Director (in almost all EU countries the rights holder) Composer of the music used in the performance (in most EU countries designated as co-author) Author of the screenplay (in most EU countries designated as co-author) Author of the dialogue (in most EU countries designated as co-author) Choreographer Graphic designer Recorder of the piece (e.g. camera person) Producer (related rights: often has the exploitation rights) Performers (related rights)

21. 20 2. Who are the rights holders? The work is out of copyright (= Public Domain) Tool: Public Domain Calculator (www.outofcopyright.eu) ≠ out of print work Title:Borcsa István, díszletterv From collection: OSZMI. Public Domain Mark

22. 21 2. Who are the rights holders? The rights situation is unkown or work is out of print Orphan works: “rights holders cannot be identified or, if they are identified, they cannot be located in order to ask the necessary permissions.” [Koskinen-Olsson, 2010, p. 256] For a work to be classified as an orphan work, a diligent search must be performed first [ARROW, 2010 (a), p. 15] If the rights holder(s) still cannot be traced after a diligent search the work is considered to be an orphan.

23. 22 3. Which methods can I use to clear the rights?

24. 23 3. Which methods can I use to clear the rights? Individual licensing agreement One-on-one agreements with the rights holders They might request a remuneration

25. 24 3. Which methods can I use to clear the rights? CMOs Great number of works => high transaction costs for individual licenses. In many European countries, rights holders have their rights voluntarily managed by Collecting Manamgement Organisations. Interesting and less costly than individual agreements, if CMO is well-organised and many rights holders are represented.

26. 25 3. Which methods can I use to clear the rights? Extended Collective License Combination of voluntary rights management by CMOs and a legal expansion ences to right-holders not represented by the CMO. Advantage: protection from those not represented by CMO. Prerequisitie: has to be very transparant and well-organised. Mostly used in Scandinavia, still often geo-blocking.

27. 26 3. Which methods can I use to clear the rights? Open licenses Make it possible to openly access and (re)use a work without having to ask the rights holder for permission each time by applying so-called open licences to a work. Will take a lot of time and effort to convince rights holders. CC licenses often used for content, CC0 for metadata.

28. 27 3. Which methods can I use to clear the rights? Dilligent search Diligent search principles are defined as follows: The search is done prior to the use of the work The search is done title by title or work by work The relevant resources would usually be those of the country of the work’s origin. Advantage: will be possible to use content after search. Disadvantage: very time-consuming, EC still working out the details, differences per jurisdiction.

29. 28 3. Which methods can I use to clear the rights? Public Domain Mark Use CC Public Domain mark when a work is out of copyright. Note that EU legislation not harmonised!
