European Union Copyright Directive

The European Union Copyright Directive is a regulation aimed at modernizing copyright rules in the EU to better protect creators in the digital age. It addresses issues like online content sharing, ensuring that artists, musicians, and writers receive fair compensation when their work is used on digital platforms. Key provisions include stronger rights for authors and new responsibilities for tech companies, such as copyright filters to prevent unauthorized sharing. The directive seeks to balance the interests of creators with the public's access to information and culture, promoting a fairer digital economy.
