This dissertation was written as part of the MA Art Law and Arts Management at the International Hellenic University. In this dissertation are analyzed the collective management organizations, the necessity of the CMOs for the protection of the intellectual rights, their history and the definition of Collective Management Organizations according to the Directive 2014/26/EU. The need to entrust the management of the property rights of the authors to collective management organizations arose, due to the inability of the authors to monitor all cases of use of their works around the world, to negotiate the terms for this use and to collect the relevant fee. Collective management organizations in Greece are under the scope of Law 4481/2017 which is about Collective management of intellectual property and related rights, granting of multi-territorial licences for the use of musical works and other matters within the competence of the Ministry of Culture and Sports. Furthermore, in this dissertation are analyzed the multi-territorial licences granting for online musical works by the Collective Management Organizations in the light of Directive 2014/26/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on collective management of copyright and related rights and multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online use in the internal market which was incorporated to Greek Law via Law 4481/2017. Articles 23 to 32 of the Directive regulate the conditions needed in order to be licenced a CMO to grant multi-territorial licences, the agreements between the CMOs and the derogation of online musical works incorporated in radio and television programs. Finally, to complete this thesis is conducted research which was based on foreign and Greek literature or online sources, all these references are mentioned in Bibliography and a part of them was a contribution from the Supervisor Stamatoudi Irini.
