Nobody likes today's copyright law. Widespread unauthorized use of
copyright material proliferates with impunity, while citizens and
users protest that intrusive copyright and related rights law
stifle cultural expression. Equipment manufacturers and
intermediaries complain about yet more 'security' features that
complicate their products and services and encumber marketing,
while content owners desperately want enforcement to work. And of
course it is crucial that whatever regulatory instruments come into
play must not age prematurely in Internet time. The European Union
faces the daunting challenge of articulating coherent copyright
policies that satisfy these contradictory multiple demands. Yet the
legal framework must conform to the European Union's remit of
fostering economic growth in a common market, while respecting the
national traditions of its still growing family of Member States.
Clearly, an extraordinary balancing act is called for if justice is
to be done to all of the private and public interests affected. So
how has the European acquis communautaire scored on these issues so
far? In this groundbreaking study the Institute for Information Law
of the University of Amsterdam brings its extensive academic
expertise to bear on this question. The authors scrutinize the
present law as laid down in the seven copyright and related rights
directives, against the background of the relevant international
standards of the Berne Convention, the TRIPs agreement, and the
WIPO Internet Treaties. They map out in detail the degree to which
certain areas of copyright have been harmonized as they expose the
gaps and inconsistencies in the acquis and the urgent unresolved
issues that persist. They identify the EU's ambitions in relation
to its present and future competences (following the Lisbon Reform)
to regulate copyright, and to its Better Regulation agenda.
Following a comprehensive analysis of almost two decades of
regulatory intervention, they move on the salient current trends
that point toward a more coherent and balanced European copyright
law. This book will be welcomed by all those interested or involved
in the regulation of copyright and related rights law. Legal
scholars, academic and research institutions, corporate counsel,
lawyers, government policymakers, and regulators - all these and
more will benefit enormously from the profound analysis presented
here.
