RightsWatch is a new scheme for intellectual property owners to
commence this summer. RightsWatch will initially focus on music
rights in the UK, and aims to create a model of procedure for the
Notice and Take Down of infringing content on the internet European-
wide.
The scheme is funded under the European Commission's IST (Information
Society Technology) programme and will enable rights holders,
internet service providers and hosting organisations to tackle online
rights infringements together - and expedite proceedings - much more
effectively.
A consortium of six key partners will run RightsWatch as a UK-based,
not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee - Net Searchers, MCPRS-
PRS (an alliance between the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society
and the Performing Right Society), Telia, BT, University of Florence
and law firm Denton Wilde Sapte.
