The nineteenth release in CREATe’s Working Paper Series is now available for download. The European Commission’s public consultation on the review of EU copyright rules: a response by the CREATe Centre by Martin Kretschmer, Ronan Deazley, Lilian Edwards, Kristofer Erickson, Burkhard Schafer and Daniel John Zizzo offers two primary contributions. The first is a short critique of the consultation format and the second 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).
