Workshop – Friday 20 September 10:00 – 13:30
Executive Business Centre – room EB206
The Directive on copyright in the Digital Single Market (2019/790) contains important provisions for cultural heritage institution that have not so far received sufficient attention in public debate. In particular, Article 8 introduces a norm that will enable the use of out-of-commerce works on a large scale, either by means of a licensing system administered by Collective Management Organisations, of by effect of a fully-fledged exception to copyright. The norm has a strong impact on cultural institutions engaged in digitisation of their collections and promises to change radically the future of mass-digitisation in Europe.
The workshop brings together academics, policy makers and professionals to address the opportunities and challenges of the implementation of Article 8.
