Description
This study, commissioned by the EC from Belgian law firm De Wolf and partners, comprises an assessment of the extent to which the implementation of Directive 2001/29/EC is appropriate to the economic and technological realities of digital markets. The focus of this study is on the exclusive rights (the "making available right" and its localisation, and other aspects of rights related to transmissions of content in digital networks) as well as on a number of key limitations and exceptions (libraries and archives, research and educational purposes, persons with a disability, user-generated content, and press review). Other studies in the series will be published as they become available.
