Report for the Council of Europe on the Neighbouring Rights Protection of Broadcasting Organisations: Current Problems and Possible Lines of Action external link

Abstract

This report analyses to what extent the Rome Convention (1961) and relevant instruments of the Council of Europe in the intellectual property field provide for sufficient protection of broadcasters in Europe. Background to the report is the changing technological environment over the last 40 years, particularly as regards convergence of the telecommunications, media and information technologies, piracy and the development of new services such as digital broadcasting services. The situation will be compared to current legal developments at EC and WIPO level. The aim of the report was to examine eventual gaps in protection where existing regulations are applied in modern times and to investigate in further activities which could be undertaken within the framework of the Council of Europe to ensure the satisfactory protection of the rights of broadcasting organisations. The study was commissioned by the Council of Europe. Views expressed in the report are not those of the Organisation.

Study on the use of conditional access systems for reasons other than the protection of remuneration, to examine the legal and the economic implications within the Internal Market and the need of introducing specific legal protection external link

Abstract

The study offers an analysis of the use of conditional access systems for other reasons than the protection of remuneration interests. The report also examines the need to provide for additional legal protection by means of a Community initiative, such as a possible extension of the Conditional Access Directive. The report will give a legal and economic analysis of the most important non-remuneration reasons to use conditional access (CA), examine whether services based on conditional access for these reasons are endangered by piracy activities, to what extent existing legislation in the Member States provides for sufficient protection, and what the possible impact of the use of conditional access is on the Internal Market. Furthermore, the study analysis the specific legislation outside the European Union, notably in Australia, Canada, Japan and the US, as well as the relevant international rules at the level of the EC, WIPO and the Council of Europe.

Not so silly after all – new hope for private copying external link

INDICARE Monitor, 2005

Abstract

The decision of the French court in Paris in the so-called Mulholland case has left a sour after-taste since. Could it be true that the privat copying exception, a long standing tradition in many national copyright laws, was in fact not much more than a toothless paper tiger? When we reported about this case we expressed our disbelief that this should have been the end of the private copying exception. And indeed, as the Court of Appeals has recently decided, the tiger may be made of paper, but it still has its teeth.

No Place Like Home for Making a Copy: Private Copying in European Copyright Law and Consumer Law external link

Berkeley Technology Law Journal, vol. 2007, num: 3, pp: 1061-1098, 2008

Abstract

This article examines the intersection between copyright law and consumer law relating to private copying in Europe. In doing so, we will query the effectiveness of copyright law and consumer law as legal instruments to protect consumers in their dealings with information suppliers. Our goal is to demonstrate that while copyright law in Europe does offer a measure of comfort to consumers, the legal instruments of European consumer law are potentially more effective in achieving the freedom to make private copies that European consumers generally expect.

Clash of cultures – integrating copyright and consumer law external link

Info, num: 6, pp: 23-33, 2012

Abstract

In digital content markets, access to and use of digital content products are largely subject to contractual agreements and licensing conditions between suppliers and consumers. The fact that consumers acquire digital content by way of contractual arrangements implies that their relationship with the suppliers of these products is governed by two sets of rules: consumer law and copyright law. Attempts to integrate copyright and consumer law and policy and to accommodate the interests of the consumer of copyright protected content soon encounter conceptual and political challenges. The question that this article examines is what the main conceptual differences between consumer and copyright law, and the resulting ‘‘clash of cultures’’ are that need to be overcome before dealing successfully with copyright law related matters in consumer law.

Filesharing 2@12: Downloaden in Nederland external link

pp: 61, 2012

Abstract

Dit rapport doet verslag van een consumentenonderzoek naar het downloaden en streamen van muziek, films, tv-series en tv-programma’s, games en boeken. Daarbij is onderscheid gemaakt tussen vier kanalen: het kopen van materiaal op fysieke dragers in een winkel of webwinkel, betaald downloaden of streamen uit legale bron, onbetaald downloaden of streamen uit legale bron en het downloaden of streamen uit illegale bron (filesharing). Downloaden uit illegale bron blijkt op de derde plaats te komen, na fysieke dragers en gratis legaal aanbod. Verder blijkt dat het downloaden uit illegale bron op zijn retour is: 27,2% van de bevolking downloadde het afgelopen jaar uit illegale bron, in 2008 was dat nog 35%. Dit komt door een sterke afname bij muziek, terwijl er nog een toename was bij films en series. Het downloaden van games is gelijk gebleven, het downloaden van boeken uit illegale bron is in opkomst en wordt inmiddels door evenveel mensen gedaan als het downloaden van games. Downloaden en kopen gaan nog altijd hand in hand: mensen die wel eens downloaden uit illegale bron kopen vaker ook content via de legale kanalen, gaan vaker naar concerten en de bioscoop en kopen vaker merchandise. Ook blijkt uit het onderzoek dat het blokkeren van de toegang tot The Pirate Bay nauwelijks effect heeft gehad: driekwart van de respondenten downloadde al niet (meer) uit illegale bron en van degenen voor wie de blokkade bedoeld is, rapporteert driekwart geen verandering.
