Translated title:
The EU Digital Single Market and digital and cross-border uses of copyrighted content
Summary:
This paper researches the goals of the Digital Single Market Strategy and how it addresses the conflicting interests of users or consumers and rightholders regarding the accessibility of digital content in the Digital Single Market. While the Digital Single Market and consumers would benefit from free cross-border access to digital content, the main obstacles stem from copyright territoriality, which is inherent to its application and enforcement. Nevertheless, in specific industries rightholders prefer territoriality while a pan-European license is seen as a threat to industry practices for financing the creation of work. Chapter 1 of this paper analyses how the Digital Single Market Strategy approaches digital content and the EU legal provisions of e-commerce to protect the interests and rights of consumers. Moreover, it also researches the legal concepts existing in the EU copyright legislation that facilitates cross-border access to copyrighted content. Chapter II covers copyright protection and enforcement in the EU, as well as the interests of rightholders regarding digital content. It addresses the conditions that contribute to the fragmentation of copyrighted digital content, like music or the audiovisual industry, and hinders the cross-border access and use of digital content stemming both from legislation and freedom of contract.
