ACCORDING TO CISAC, IT ALL BEGAN IN FRANCE IN THE 18TH CENTURY 1=> The history of collective administration of rights in creative works began in France in the 18th century when author Beaumarchais formed a group of 22 other authors to address under-remuneration for their works by the Théâtre-Français. 2=> The first law on authors' rights was passed in 1791, and the Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers (SACD) was created in 1829. 3=> The first collective licensing body (CMO) in the music area, SACEM, was established in 1851 to administer public performance rights in musical works. 4=> The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works in 1886 recognized the public performance rights of authors and composers as a principal feature of protection for all authors. 5=> CMOs were established in many European countries and around the world to administer the rights of authors and composers of musical works. 6=> GEMA, the German CMO managing performance rights in musical works, was founded in 1903, and its United Kingdom counterpart, the Performing Rights Society (PRS), was established in 1914. 7=> Uganda Performing Right Society (UPRS) formed in 1985 by authors (mainly musicians) to advance the cause of copyright administration in Uganda. 8=> Collective administration of rights became necessary in situations where there was a need to manage the interaction of multiple copyright owners, various authors' rights/copyright users, and numerous instances of use requiring a license. 9=> CMOs typically represent a single category of rights owner in respect of a particular class of right or rights. 10=> However, broader groupings can occur, such as working alliances between authors and publishers, producers of sound recordings and performers, and producers of sound recordings and performers in respect of their public performance rights.

AMAZING FINDINGS SCIENCE HAS DISCOVERED ABOUT MUSIC => Science has discovered several amazing things about music, including its positive effects on teenagers' brains, the ability to achieve perfect pitch, the potential for neurological factors to hinder true mastery, the impact of music on patients' recovery after surgery, the ability to predict surgeons' performance, and the universal nature of our response to music. => A study from Northwestern University found that music accelerates neural development and can improve phonological awareness language skills, suggesting that music may engender 'learning to learn'. => Additionally, a study from the *University of Cambridge* found that our musical tastes can predict how we think, with those who scored high on empathy gravitating towards more mellow and reflective styles of music, while those who scored high on systematic thinking enjoyed more high-energy, aggressive acts. => The way we respond to music is largely universal, with sonic elements of the music having a somewhat universal effect. => These findings highlight the importance of music in our lives and the potential for its impact on our lives.

According to Harvard Law School "And there has been some incredibly helpful recent guidance from the Copyright Office on exactly this. On March 15, the Copyright Office issued its latest formal guidance, which reaffirmed its position that works that are created by AI without human intervention or human involvement cannot be copyrighted." https://lnkd.in/ddtdnKW4.
