If I could just add, the Private Copying Collective is itself an umbrella collective that was created by the rights holders' collectives. In effect, it is the chosen vehicle by the rights holders. The systems that have been set up have been developed by the rights holders. As for the most efficient and fairest means of distributing any private copying royalties, the decision for that should rest with the rights holders. Our members have told us that their preference would be for any fund to flow, again, through the Private Copying Collective, as it would be the most efficient and most effective way of getting the funds into the right hands.
