Copyright Directive Implementation

Here you will find an interactive map with the latest information and legislation on the implementation process of the CDSM directive in all member states.

The Impact of the DSM Directive on EU Artists and Musicians

Streams & Dreams Part 2

A new report entitled Streams & Dreams Part 2 – The Impact of the DSM Directive on EU Artists and Musicians, written by the independent music business researcher Daniel Johansson (Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences) and published on June 13th, proves the ineffectiveness of the DSM Directive.

 

Based upon a survey of 9.542 artists from 19 EU countries, conducted by AEPO-ARTIS and its members in collaboration with IAO, this is one of the most substantiated reports ever done on issues related to performers in the music industry. The report is available here.
