- Description
- The European Audiovisual Observatory, part of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, published this report on the state of play of copyright law in Europe. It aims to provide a guide to the complex process of the new Copyright Package, presented in September 2016 by the European Commission. This 80-page report first presents the background on origins of copyright and then looks at the economic impact of certain exceptions and limitations to copyright in the European Union. It then provides an overview of the national implementations of certain exceptions to copyright, looking at licenses for Europe facilitating the digitisation and access to audiovisual heritage and concludes with a look at the the four new mandatory exceptions: 1. Text and data mining in the field of scientific research; 2. Digital and cross-border uses in education; 3. Preservation of cultural heritage; 4. Accessible formats for people with disabilities
