The
- supposedly - final round of negotiations on the EU Copyright
Directive is upon us! But there is still no agreement on controversial
key articles - the consequences could be significant for freedom of
expression and the way we interact online.
Lobbying around the EU
Copyright Directive has been intense: big-budget tech platforms led by
Google as well as tech industry trade associations on one side,
historically important collecting societies, the creative industries and
publishers on the other. The interests and opinions of citizens have
become sidelined in the resulting turmoil.
