Are Collective Copyright Administration bodies effective?

Because collective copyright administration bodies are a relatively rare and new system of protecting one's rights in China, much of the Chinese populace and business sector is unaware of these bodies. Hopefully, with the recent amendments and the consequent growth of collective administration bodies, the practice of authorizing an organization to protect one's rights will become more well-known and widely used. Despite their unfamiliarity, the collective administration bodies have been largely effective. In the past years, the MCSC has won numerous cases on behalf of its members, including against large multinational corporations and hotels.
