Remuneration of authors and performers for the use of their works and the fixations of their performances external link

Guibault, L., Salamanca, O. & van Gompel, S.
2015

Abstract

This study analyses the current situation regarding the level of remuneration paid to authors and performers in the music and audio-visual sectors. We compare, from both a legal and economic perspective, the existing national systems of remuneration for authors and performers and identify the relative advantages and disadvantages of those systems for them. We also explore the need to harmonise mechanisms affecting the remuneration of authors and performers, and to identify which ones are the best suited to achieve this. Their potential impact on distribution models and on the functioning of the Internal Market is also examined. Finally, the study outlines a series of policy recommendations based on the analysis conducted.

Knocking on Heaven’s Door – User Preferences on Digital Cultural Distribution external link

Bodó, B., Quintais, J., Vallbé, J. & Handke, C.W.
2015

Abstract

14 July 2015.<br /> This paper explores the social, demographic and attitudinal basis of consumer support to a change from the status quo in digital cultural distribution. First we identify how different online and offline, legal and illegal, free and paying content acquisition channels are used in the Dutch media market using a cluster-based classification of respondents according to their cultural consumption. Second, we assess the effect of cultural consumption on the support to the introduction of a Copyright Compensation System (CCS), which, for a small monthly fee would legalize currently infringing online social practices such as private copying from illegal sources and online sharing of copyrighted works. Finally, we link these two analyses to identify the factors that drive the dynamics of change in digital cultural consumption habits.

We hebben er niet naar gezocht, het is ons in de schoot geworpen: een themanummer. 'Open overheid' en 'open access', die twee onderwerpen hebben alleen nog een verbindende redactionele inleiding nodig en voilà: alles wat een auteursrechtjurist altijd al had willen weten over de vraag waarom het zo is dat we vrijelijk toegang moeten mogen hebben tot informatie waarvoor we zelf hebben betaald.

Is Europe Falling Behind in Data Mining? Copyright’s Impact on Data Mining in Academic Research external link

Guibault, L., Handke, C.W. & Vallbé, J.
2015

Abstract

This empirical paper discusses how copyright affects data mining (DM) by academic researchers. Based on bibliometric data, we show that where DM for academic research requires the express consent of rights holders: (1) DM makes up a significantly lower share of total research output; and (2) stronger rule-of-law is associated with less DM research. To our knowledge, this is the first time that an empirical study bears out a significant negative association between copyright protection and innovation.

Alternative compensation models for large-scale non-commercial online use of works external link

Quintais, J.
pp: pp. 298-306, 2016

Abstract

This paper briefly discusses an alternative legal model to assure remuneration for non-commercial mass online uses by individuals, covered by the exclusive rights of reproduction and communication/making available to the public in Directive 2001/29/EC. Alternative compensation systems (ACS) are legal mechanisms that forsake the need for direct authorization of end-user acts under the aforementioned rights – downloading, uploading, sharing, modifying –, while simultaneously ensuring compensation to creators (i.e. authors and performers) or all rights holders of works included in the scheme. After providing some background, the paper explains the concept of ACS, outlines the legal models and challenges to its implementation and reports on the results of an ongoing interdisciplinary research project on the legal and socioeconomic feasibility of such systems carried out by the Institute for Information Law (IViR), University of Amsterdam. Chief among the findings are the willingness of users to pay for and participate in an ACS, its quantification and, using the case-study of recorded music, the realization that such a model holds the promise of being welfare increasing.

Creative Commons Licenses Legal Pitfalls: Incompatibilities and Solutions external link

van Eijk, N.
2010

Abstract

Creative Commons licenses have been designed to facilitate the use and reuse of creative works by granting some permissions in advance. However, the system is complex with a multiplicity of licenses options, formats and versions available, including translations into different languages and adaptation to specific legislations towards versions which are declared compatible among each other after an international porting process. It should be assessed whether all ported licenses cover exactly the same subject matter, rights and restrictions or whether small language differences may have an impact on the rights actually granted and legal security of current users or the availability of works for future generations to access and build upon. Besides, other possible sources of legal uncertainty and incompatibility, as well as their actual or potential consequences, need to be evaluated, such as the validity and enforceability of the licenses across jurisdictions with different and possibly inconsistent legislations, the variations between the licenses summary and the licenses text written in legal language, the interoperability with other copyleft licenses. This study presents the different licenses (chapter 2), identifies various possible sources of legal incompatibility (chapter 3), evaluates their actual impact (chapter 4) and finally proposes options to mitigate risks and improve compatibility, consistency, clarity and legal security (chapter 5).

Abstract

Het proefschrift Auteursrecht op informatie is onlangs opnieuw verschenen bij Amsterdam University Press in de Amsterdam Academic Archive serie. In deze serie worden kwalitatief hoogwaardige wetenschappelijke uitgaven die niet meer leverbaar zijn, opnieuw in de handel gebracht.
Auteursrecht op informatie werd voor het eerst gepubliceerd in 1989, zeven jaar voor de aanvaarding van de Europese Databankrichtlijn en tien jaar voordat in Nederland het 'databankenrecht' in werking trad. Het boek bewijst dat databanken en andere gegevensverzamelingen ook zonder de kunstgreep van een sui generis recht juridische bescherming kunnen vinden. Nu het databankenrecht weer ter discussie staat, heeft het boek een nieuwe actualiteit gekregen.

International Copyright. Principles, Law, and Practice, Second Edition external link

Goldstein, P. & Hugenholtz, P.
1023

Abstract

This book divides into two parts. Part One (Chapters 1 through 5) describes the general principles of international copyright and the structure of the main conventions. Following Chapter 2, which sets out the historic traditions of copyright, Chapter 3 describes the substance and structure of the principal international, regional, and bilateral conventions in the field of copyright and neighboring rights. Chapter 4 discusses the principles of territoriality and national treatment that underlie these conventions and examines the often highly complex issues of private international law: jurisdiction (choice of forum) and conflict of laws (choice of law). Chapter 5 concludes Part One with a discussion of so-called "scope" rules in the international conventions and in national law, which determine the points of attachment that allow foreign authors to enjoy local copyright protection.
Part Two offers a comparative overview of the substantive norms of copyright. Guided by the substantive minima of the main international conventions, this part describes and compares the rules on copyright and neigboring rights found in national laws. Chapter 6 depicts the rules on the subject matter of copyright and neighboring rights, Chapter 7 the rules on authorship and ownership. The terms of protection for copyright and neigboring rights are examined in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 describes the main economic rights protected under copyright and neighboring rights laws, while Chapter 10 focuses on moral rights. Chapter 11 considers limitations and exemptions, and Chapter 12 analyses copyright enforcement remedies and sanctions.
