A New Global Copyright Order?

This event was canceled due to Covid-19

The European Union recently enacted a new copyright directive that could redefine global copyright enforcement, fundamentally altering the relationship between online platforms, large content owners, and users. Join us to understand the EU’s new rules and discuss how they impact copyright enforcement in the United States and internationally.

Through a combination of lightning talks, panel discussions, and fireside chats, this event explores questions like:

What is the state of play with the European Copyright Directive?
What is the likelihood of contagion to other jurisdictions, especially the US?
What are the challenges with implementing the mandatory licensing requirement in Article 17 across different types of content?
Does the European Copyright Directive endorse upload filters as the dominant means of copyright enforcement? What could be the knock-on effects on (small and medium sized) platforms, content owners, and users?
