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.
