Abstract
Copyright Intermediary Organization Act (CIOA) was enacted on November 5th, 1997. Although it has gone into effect for more than 9 years, compared with other developed countries, it is still in the initial stage. Therefore, there are many difficulties and also special cases in Taiwan. By studying the cases of collective management organizations (CMOs) in Taiwan, I tried to clarify the application of CIOA and give advice to amend it if necessary.
The thesis is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter one is a preface. Chapter two is the overview of collective management, including its meaning, types, main fields, and the necessity of regulation. Chapter three introduces the changing role of CMOs in digital age. Chapter four to chapter six introduces the cases of CMOs in Taiwan. Chapter four is the cases in respect of the relation between CMOs and the users. Chapter five is the cases in respect of the relation between CMOs and the rights owners. Chapter six is other cases which are not belong to the above categories. Chapter seven is the conclusion and future development. Although no cases in this study respond the challenge of digital age, in my opinion, CMOs will play a crucial role in the future.
