The companies of Ekspress Grupp signed the agreement to establish a
collective management organisation
Delfi Meedia AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AS Ekspress Grupp,
and AS Õhtuleht Kirjastus, its joint venture with a 50% ownership
interest, together with AS Postimees Grupp and AS Äripäev, signed
the agreement to establish the Baltic Press Publishersʼ Collective
Management Organisation, a collective management organisation of
news media publishers. The association will promote the interests
of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian press publishers, and exercise
their economic copyrights and related rights.
The association will provide support to press publishers in
negotiations with information society service providers who use
media content (such as Google, Microsoft and Facebook). The users
of rights will have a good opportunity to faster and more easily
reach agreements to acquire licenses for press content, as there is
no need to hold negotiations with each press publisher separately.
The association will, on behalf of media organisations, hold
negotiations regarding the use of press content, conclude
corresponding licensing agreements, collect fees and distribute
them among press publishers. The association is also planning to
apply efficient measures to limit the unauthorised use of press
publications.
In particular, all Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian news media
publishers are invited to participate in the activities of the
association. Information about the activities of the association is
available at the website www.balticpresspublishers.eu.
