摘要:Regulatory bodies, organisations, companies which have a monopoly in the market-place come under scrutiny at some point. In the same manner, it came as no surprise when the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA), a collecting society, and as such a natural monopoly1, was taken before the Copyright Tribunal in 2001 – by Universities UK (UUK). UUK claimed that CLA was abusing their monopolistic position by requesting high license fees from universities and not being clear in the distribution of license fees to the right holders.
