Position Statement of the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition
Last Update: 28.09.17
On September 14, 2016 the European Commission published a package of proposals aimed at the modernisation of copyright within the Digital Single Market. The full suite of proposals as well as the Commission’s background documents can be accessed via: ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/modernisation-eu-copyright-rules
The Institute has responded to all of the proposals included in the copyright package in a Position Statement. It includes several parts examining whether the suggested provisions are adequate for reaching their intended objectives. In response to certain critical evaluations, a number of alternatives have been suggested. Each part and chapter has been published on the Institute’s website in the course of recent months. These have been brought together in the E-book available at the following link: E-book
