Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Med lovforslaget foreslås en ændring af lov om kollektiv forvaltning af ophavsret for at skabe hjemmel til, at kulturministeren kan bemyndige Copydan Verdens TV til at varetage udbetaling af statsligt tilskud til rettighedshavere som følge af, at forvaltningsorganisationer fremadrettet skal pålægge moms, når de meddeler licenser til ophavsretsbeskyttede værker. Loven foreslås at træde i kraft den 1. juli 2025.
