After four years of hearings, lobbying and negotiations, the European Union has enacted a Directive to modernize copyright laws across its 28 Member States. The move is a significant step toward achieving a Digital Single Market across the continent.
On May 21, Copyright Clearance Center presented a “members only” webinar, “What You Need To Know About The European Copyright Directive, analyzing what the new Directive – and the possible variations that may be introduced in individual countries in the process of national implementation over the next two years – may mean for organizations and individuals around the world. This special podcast presents the audio portion of that program.
The webinar featured European copyright expert Carlo Scollo Lavizzari and Jessica Sänger of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association (Börsenverein) in conversation with US attorney Mark Seeley, a CCC board member.
Among other areas of media consumption, the 2019 Copyright Directive covers business activities, including text mining, online re-use and re-publication, as well as increased responsibility regarding infringements on the part of social media platforms.
