Session description

In the ongoing debate on copyright reform, proposals like mandatory content-filtering technologies to monitor user-generated content and creating a new exclusive right for press publishers raise a number of questions regarding their impact on users' fundamental rights, intermediaries' liability and the use of copyright-protected content by Internet users globally. On the other hand, within the policy debate there is a focus on the rights holders perspective, leaving the interests and concerns of other stakeholders out in the cold. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that the resulting expectations of policy makers will be met, which poses the question – is this the right way to improve the situation of authors?

During the discussion, we will focus on the some of the most controversial issues:

  • Proposed EU Directive – ensuring wide access to content or launching a censorship machine?
  • Allocation of responsibility – users, intermediaries or rights holders?
  • Technical hurdles and realities
  • Rights holders and authors – who wins?
  • Implications for global cultural and scientific progress
  • The impact of the law on the development of digital media

Format

  • 45min – Panel discussion
  • 30min – One discussion participant added to the panel from the audience, which switches every 5min (fishbowl)
