EU Copyright Directive

The EU Copyright Directive is a set of rules designed to update copyright laws across European Union member states, ensuring creators and copyright holders are fairly protected in the digital age. It aims to balance the rights of creators with public access by clarifying rules around online content sharing, licensing, and fair use. Key provisions include stronger protections for creators, clearer licensing conditions for online platforms, and measures to prevent unauthorized use of copyrighted material, all while respecting freedoms like research and journalism. The goal is to adapt copyright laws to modern digital environments, encouraging innovation and creativity.
