By 6 June 2021, member states will need to implement the new EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market.
One of the main new features of the directive is that it will require large music, video-sharing and certain social media platforms to clear the copyright in works uploaded by their users, unless certain copyright exceptions apply (e.g. the work is a meme created by the user with parody purposes).
Cullen International’s new 'Cheat Sheet' helps industry players and policy makers understand these complex rules by explaining in an immediately readable format:
- the scope of the new rules;
- the steps that online content sharing platforms need to follow to be shielded from liability;
- the exemptions that apply to platforms that are small and new;
- what rights holders need to do to make sure their works are protected.
