The National Copyright Administration of China (NCAC) is expected to release a third draft of proposed amendments to the Copyright Law.

Indeed, in July 2012, the NCAC already released the second draft. Significant changes were made to the first one following heated discussions and strong objections, particularly from the music industry, to provisions relating to statutory license and extended management rights of collective copyright management organizations.

The third draft should be published after NCAC has considered the feedback received from the public, trade and right holders on the second draft.
