غياب الإنفاذ - عدم الامتثال للحقوق الملكية

3 verified sources

Definition

Search result [1] explicitly states: 'However, he [legal expert] pointed out that enforcement had been lacking prior to EMR's establishment.' This confirms: law existed, but no enforcement machinery. Result [1] also notes: 'The UAE law already grants music right holders the rights over the use of their music in broadcasting and public performance' — but this was unenforceable. CMO licensing [4] now introduces 'agreed tariff with the Ministry' — implying prior absence of regulatory tariff or oversight.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: LOGIC-based estimate: Estimated 3,000-5,000 commercial venues in UAE (hotels, malls, restaurants, radio/TV broadcasters) should pay AED 5,000-50,000 annual licensing fees. With zero enforcement 2015-2024, compliance rate ~0%. Total unpaid regulatory obligations: 4,000 venues × AED 20,000 average = AED 80M annually × 10 years (2015-2024) = AED 800M in avoided licensing fees. Conservative minimum: AED 100-200M per year pre-CMO.
  • Frequency: Continuous non-compliance (2015-2024)
  • Root Cause: Regulatory enforcement gap: Copyright law existed but Ministry had no mechanism to audit, fine, or license venues. CMO licensing closes this gap [1][2][4].
