Conference: Four Years of the Copyright Directive

On Thursday, 25th of May, AEPO-ARTIS is holding a conference “FOUR YEARS OF THE COPYRIGHT DIRECTIVE” at the Thon Hotel EU (Rue de la Loi 75, 1040 Brussels/undergrounds Maelbeek or Arts-Loi) on 25 May 2023.

It has indeed been over four years since the EU Council and Parliament adopted Directive 2019/790 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market. And even if not all Member States have completed its transposition, there is enough to look back at. And that is exactly what we will do, in addition to considering what will come next in the transposition procedure.

With the participation of a very broad range of stakeholders, AEPO-ARTIS will have a first look at the new state of affairs in the audiovisual and music sector and see how the Copyright Directive has changed the lives and businesses of performers, authors, producers and broadcasters over the past four years.
