CDT Co-signed Letter to the EC on Copyright Reform
CDT co-signed a letter to European Commission President Juncker and several Commissioners to make the case for innovation-friendly and progressive copyright reform in Europe. Reforming European copyright legislation is a key component of the Commission’s Digital Single Market Strategy, and the need for an updated, harmonised copyright framework is widely recognised. Our letter stresses the need to ensure that strong liability limitations are maintained and that amending the definition of the rights of “communication to the public” and “making available” would be extremely harmful to the Internet as an open platform for free expression and exchange. The Commission is expected to issue a new consultation on these issues shortly, which CDT and others will respond to.
