Collecting societies - entities that protect the interests of creative rights owners as a group and administer and license their works for distribution - operate under a complex system of national and international laws.

* Effects of local political and social conditions
* Appropriate rights for collectivization
* The relationship between the rights owner and the collective
* Collective licensing procedures
* Collective distribution procedures
* Governmental supervision
* International conventions
* Collective administrative organization
* Transfer of rights issues
* Monitoring use of repertoire
* Cultural, educational
* And enforcement activities

Special chapters on audiovisual rights, dramatic works, fine and applied arts, literary works, music, performers, and reprographic rights round out the volume.
