EU copyright law : subsistence, exploitation and protection of rights

Rosenmeier,Morten Szkalej,Kacper Wolk,Sanna

EU copyright law : subsistence, exploitation and protection of rights - The Netherlands Wolters Kluwer 2019 - xii, 201 p. 25 cm.

EU Copyright Law facilitates an understanding of the complex legal area of European Union (EU) copyright law and provides for a more conscious application of these rules, especially in relation to the legal framework. Against a background in which technology continues to change the ways we create, use, distribute and consume cultural content – and where there has been a noticeable increase in the body of case law of Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) relating to copyright – copyright protection has become an essential component of the knowledge-based economy and the information society. This book, structured around the various rights and issues rather than the legislative instruments, provides a practical, economic approach considering different legal questions that arise in connection with the exploitation of protected subject matter.

Among the issues and topics covered are the following:

the CJEU’s interpretation of EU copyright law and application of fundamental rights;
authorship and ownership of copyright;
protection of computer programs and databases;
scope of exclusive rights, such as communication to the public and distribution, including rental and lending;
application of limitations and exceptions;
cross-border access to online content services;
digital exhaustion of copyright; and
enforcement of copyright and cross-border issues.
