Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Directive (EU) 2019\/790 on copyright in the Digital Single Market<\/p>\n<p>WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE DIRECTIVE?<\/p>\n<p>The directive has 3 main objectives:<\/p>\n<p>to adapt certain key exceptions to copyright to the digital and the cross-border environment;<br \/>\nto improve licensing practices and ensure wider access to content; and<br \/>\nto achieve a well-functioning marketplace for copyright.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Points\"><\/span>Key Points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The directive updates but does not replace the 11 directives which together comprise the EU\u2019s copyright legislation. These include:<\/p>\n<p>Directive 2001\/29\/EC on the harmonisation of copyright in the information society; and<br \/>\nthe directives on:<br \/>\nthe enforcement of intellectual property rights (Directive 2004\/48\/EC);<br \/>\norphan works (Directive 2012\/28\/EU); and<br \/>\nthe collective management of copyright and related rights (Directive 2014\/26\/EU).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Copyright_exceptions_to_give_wider_access\"><\/span>Copyright exceptions to give wider access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The directive makes it easier to use copyright-protected material for different purposes, mostly related to access to knowledge, by introducing mandatory exceptions to copyright to foster:<\/p>\n<p>text- and data-mining;<br \/>\ndigital uses of works for the purpose of illustration for teaching; and<br \/>\nthe preservation of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>It facilitates licensing to give wider access to content, in particular by providing:<\/p>\n<p>a new system to make it easier for cultural heritage institutions, such as libraries, museums and archives, to digitise and disseminate, including online and across borders in the EU, out-of-commerce works that they have in their collections;<br \/>\na specific rule on extended collective licensing and similar mechanisms;<br \/>\na negotiation mechanism to help interested parties reach agreements for the making available of audiovisual works on video-on-demand platforms.<br \/>\nThe directive also clarifies that anyone can use and share without restriction copies of works of art in the public domain (for example, a picture of a sculpture no longer covered by copyright), under certain conditions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protection_of_press_publications_for_online_use\"><\/span>Protection of press publications for online use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are new rights granted to EU-based press publishers for the digital use of their press publications, although these rights only apply to uses by online service providers and not to private or non-commercial uses by individual users. Acts of hyperlinking and very short extracts from press publications are not subject to these new rights.<br \/>\nAuthors of works included in a press publication should receive an appropriate share of the income derived from its use.<br \/>\nUse of protected content by online content-sharing platforms<\/p>\n<p>Online content-sharing service providers should obtain permission from rights holders to make works uploaded by their users available to the public, for example through a licensing agreement. If a licence is not concluded, the concerned platforms benefit from a liability-mitigation mechanism, but they have to make \u2018best efforts\u2019 to make sure that unauthorised content is not available on their websites. They must make those efforts on the basis of relevant and necessary information provided by the rightholders.<br \/>\nUsers are allowed to post content for the specific purposes of quotation, criticism, review, caricature, parody or pastiche and may use complaint and redress mechanisms in case of disputes over content erroneously blocked or removed from the platforms.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fair_remuneration_for_authors_and_performers\"><\/span>Fair remuneration for authors and performers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>EU countries should ensure that a principle of appropriate and proportionate remuneration applies when an author or performer has transferred or licensed his rights for exploitation by another party (e.g. a publisher or a producer).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transparency_and_revocation\"><\/span>Transparency and revocation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Authors and performers should receive regularly \u2014 at least once a year \u2014 up-to-date, relevant and comprehensive information on the exploitation of their works and performances. They have a right of revocation, after a reasonable period of time, in the event of non-use of the work or performance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modifying_contracts\"><\/span>Modifying contracts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The negotiating rights of authors and performers are strengthened. They have the right to claim from the party with whom they have a contract for the exploitation of rights, appropriate and fair additional remuneration in cases where the remuneration initially agreed is unreasonably low in relation to all subsequent income resulting from exploitation of the works.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Application\"><\/span>Application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It has applied since 6 June 2019 and must become law in all EU countries by 7 June 2021.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see:<\/p>\n<p>Copyright (European Commission)<br \/>\nDigital Single Market \u2014 Factsheet (European Commission).<\/p>\n<p>Text- and data-mining: any automated analytical technique aiming to analyse text and data in digital form in order to generate information such as patterns, trends and correlations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MAIN_DOCUMENT\"><\/span>MAIN DOCUMENT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Directive (EU) 2019\/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market and amending Directives 96\/9\/EC and 2001\/29\/EC (OJ L 130, 17.5.2019, pp. 92-125)<\/p>\n<p>RELATED DOCUMENT<\/p>\n<p>Directive 2001\/29\/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (OJ L 167, 22.6.2001, pp. 10-19)<\/p>\n<p>Successive amendments to Directive 2001\/29\/EC have been incorporated into the original document.

According to this \u2018country of origin principle\u2019, copyright authorisations for satellite broadcasting only need to be obtained for the EU country of origin of the satellite broadcast and not for the EU countries where the signals are received.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mandatory_collective_management_of_rights_for_cable_retransmission\"><\/span>Mandatory collective management of rights for cable retransmission<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The directive also makes it easier to obtain the authorisation of holders of copyright and related rights for the retransmission by cable of television or radio programmes from other EU countries. Rights holders can exercise their right to authorise or prohibit the retransmission of their works or other subject-matter (as part of the broadcast programmes that are being retransmitted) only via a collecting society. This applies to all relevant rights, except those that are held by broadcasting organisations themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Where no agreement can be reached allowing the retransmission of a broadcast, the parties may call upon mediators who can assist with the negotiation and may also submit non-binding recommendations to the parties.<\/p>\n<p>The definition of cable retransmission originally included in this directive was slightly amended by Article 9 of Directive (EU) 2019\/789 (see summary) in order to cover situations in which the programme-carrying signals are transmitted by broadcasting organisations to cable operators through the technical process of direct injection (defined in Article 2 of the same directive). This is the only amendment brought by Directive (EU) 2019\/789, which otherwise complements Directive 93\/83\/EEC by introducing new rules aimed at further facilitating the cross-border distribution of radio and television programmes.<br \/>\nEvaluation<\/p>\n<p>A European Commission staff working document evaluated the operation of the directive in 2016.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Application_Background\"><\/span>Application &amp; Background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The directive has applied since 4 October 1993 and had to become law in the EU countries by 1995.<\/p>\n<p>The revised definition of \u2018cable retransmission\u2019 has applied since 6 June 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Modernisation of the EU copyright rules (European Commission)<br \/>\nThe Satellite and Cable Directive (European Commission).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MAIN_DOCUMENT-2\"><\/span>MAIN DOCUMENT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Council Directive 93\/83\/EEC of 27 September 1993 on the coordination of certain rules concerning copyright and rights related to copyright applicable to satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission (OJ L 248, 6.10.1993, pp. 15-21)<\/p>\n<p>Successive amendments to Directive 93\/83\/EEC have been incorporated into the original text.
