Abstract

This report was commissioned by the UK's Intellectual Property Office in reponse to recommendations by the DCMS Select Committee to implement changes to UK copyright law to help benefit music creators in respect of their revenues from on-demand streaming. These recommendations concern a reversion right (similar to the termination right in the US) and a right of contract adjustment (similar to adjustment right that is outlined in the European Unions's Digital Single Market Directive).
