The nexus between creativity and copyright and how creativity has played a pivotal role in development is explained. The need to balance the interests of authors and users is discussed and the societies representing the interest of copyright owners are illustrated. Further, Nigeria’s legal framework for collective management is enunciated from a pre-independence and post-independence perspective. In the course of this regulatory challenges encountered in the administration of collective management organizations, steps so far taken to address the problems, legislative reforms and judicial decisions are discussed. A path to the new regime is chartered. The South African Copyright collective management system is explored and a comparison between the Nigerian and South African system is made. Thereby the need for supervisory and regulatory agencies of government is shown to seek the national interest regarding the collective administration of copyright and related rights. Then, suggestions for improvement and lessons for Africa are provided.SpringerBriefs in Law,2192-8568Private international lawConflict of lawsInternational lawComparative lawInformation technologyLaw and legislationMass mediaLaw and legislationAdvertising media planningPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative LawIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual PropertyMedia PlanningPrivate international law.Conflict of laws.International law.Comparative law.Information technologyLaw and legislation.Mass mediaLaw and legislation.Advertising media planning.Private International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law.IT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property.Media Planning.346.6690482Ola Olukunleauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1370158BOOK9910733734703321Copyright Collective Administration in Nigeria3397738UNINA
