Training 4: Copyright Economics before and after the new copyright directive (11/12 – 13/12)

This training proposes an overview of copyright issues faced by the media industry, from both a legal and an economic perspective, including views from policy-makers and stakeholders in the media industry. While digital technology allows for easier access to a broader range of media content, right holders see their exclusive rights threatened by the development of online platforms. The Copyright Directives will be one focus point of the Course, from the process leading to their adoptions to its potential impact on right holders, intermediaries and consumers.
