Session teaser

EU Members must implement the new Copyright Directive by 7 June, 2021. This workshop looks at the situation at the end of June, especially concerning the results of stakeholder dialogues where the European Commission was to discuss best practices for cooperation between online content-sharing service providers and rightholders regarding Article 17. The workshop may also review possible ripple effects of recent and ongoing cases involving the demands for compensation for the use by platforms of news produced by traditional media.

Session description

In 2019, the EU copyright directive reform has been adopted, despite protests from different stakeholder groups. Currently, we are at the point of time, where the deadline for implementing the directive has passed, and only a handful of Member states have implemented it in national legislation. At the same time, there are looming court decisions about the compatibility of Article 17 with the fundamental right to freedom of expression and information. In this session, we will look at the current state of the national implementations of the EU Copyright Directive and the outlook for the near future in this field.

Format

Kick-off presentations, followed by a panel discussion.
