8th GRUR meets Brussels Workshop
The Digital Single Market Copyright Directive Proposal and beyond:
Towards a `toolbox´ for future European Copyright Law
In September 2016, the European Commission has presented its Proposal for a Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. The Proposal aims to adapt the EU copyright framework to the needs of the digital network environment. This concerns the regulation of new uses as well as new actors, such as large internet platforms, and new business models. Further, new cross-border uses have emerged which require a modern, ‘future proof’ European copyright law framework.
The European Commission’s Proposal tackles these challenges by cautiously adapting exceptions and limitations to the digital and cross-border environment as well as by trying to improve access and availability of protected content by means of fostering functioning licensing agreements between rightholders, platforms and other actors. At the same time the European Commission keeps in mind the need for fair remuneration of the creatives in this context, e.g. by way of the proposed introduction of a new contract adjustment mechanism and respective transparency obligations.
In fact, the European Commission has proposed new and innovative, but partly rather cautious regulation concerning copyright in the Digital Single Market. Against this background, the 8th GRUR meets Brussels Workshop will focus on some of the core elements of the European Commission’s Proposal, such as the regulation of certain internet uses in particular by platforms in the broader context of the communication to the public right, the attempt to ensure fair remuneration for authors and performers by introducing new elements of copyright contract law into the acquis communautaire, and the proposed introduction of new exceptions and limitations to copyright. In respect of the commercial and technological challenges in these fields, the workshop aims at further developing the European Commission’s proposal and tries to propose certain useful elements as a ‘toolbox’ for more comprehensive reform of European copyright law. Renowned experts and high-level representatives from academia, legal practice, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union will present their views and discuss the Proposal as well as the possible need for further reform.
