CREATe has issued its response to the Public Consultation on the Review of the EU Copyright Rules. Authors Martin Kretschmer, Ronan Deazley, Lilian Edwards, Kristofer Erickson, Burkhard Schafer and Daniel John Zizzo sought to make two contributions: (1) the process of policy formation matters for the evolution of the EU legal framework, and so a short critique of the consultation format is offered; (2) a summary of available evidence in seven thematic areas where CREATe has developed, or is developing research (term of protection, libraries and archives, disabilities, text and data mining, user-generated content, fair remuneration for authors and performers, and respect for rights). CREATe understands evidence here as empirically grounded, but open to historical and comparative approaches.
