Copyright law has always played a substantial role in responding to and shaping the developments of new technologies. At the EU level, several pieces of legislation have been adopted over time, which have harmonized different aspects of copyright law. The Court of Justice of the European Union has also played a pivotal role in construing and refining the copyright infrastructure, inter alia regulating the application of copyright’s exclusive rights and related exceptions and limitations in digital and online environments.

If you're interested in the impact of recent (and ongoing!) EU copyright developments on technological advancements, then join the discussion taking place in Brussels on 1 December 2023!

Topics will include: the scope of protection of copyright in Europe, responsibilities and liability of online platforms, fundamental rights on the internet, user rights, and the development of Artificial Intelligence.
