European Commission launches public consultation on copyright protection

micThe European Commission has launched a public consultation as part of its ongoing efforts to review and modernise EU copyright rules.

The consultation invites stakeholders to share their views on areas including:

  • territoriality in the Single Market
  • harmonisation
  • limitations and exceptions to copyright in the digital age
  • fragmentation of the EU copyright market
  • how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of enforcement while underpinning its legitimacy in the wider context of copyright reform.

Contributions are sought from consumers, users, authors, performers, publishers, producers, broadcasters, intermediaries, distributors and other service providers, collective management organisations, public authorities and Member States.

The consultation is open until 5 February 2014 and more information is available here
