European Copyright Directive

The European Copyright Directive is a set of rules aimed at modernizing copyright laws across Europe to better suit the digital age. It seeks to balance the rights of creators—like artists and writers—with the public's access to content. Key aspects include ensuring fair compensation for creators when their works are shared online and clarifying how platforms like social media can use copyrighted material. The directive aims to protect intellectual property while encouraging innovation and creativity in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
