EU TO ENGAGE IN COPYRIGHT REFORM?


The Inquirer reports that the European Commission is contemplating reforming the copyright system in Member States. Too much red tape is said to be faced in order to secure the right to make music downloads available in Europe since companies who want to make music available have to negotiate rights in 25 different countries. It appears that a single licensing agency of some sort for all 25 EU Members is being contemplated.


The IPKat did a quick search on the EU website but couldn’t find the proposal. If anyone has an details, he’d be very happy to hear from them.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
