Rethinking digital copyright law for a culturally diverse, accessible, creative Europe

DISCOVER THE PROJECT

Technologies enable unprecedented democratization of cultural practices, and the production and use of intellectual property. An effective system of sustainable norms for digital copyright is needed but this is challenging to create. Copyright law is complex and there are gaps in knowledge and awareness. The reCreating Europe project brings researchers, libraries, copyright experts, policymakers and other stakeholders together in order to clarify what is needed for a regulatory framework which supports culturally-diverse production, inclusive access and consumption.

The project

reCreating Europe articulates its research around four main groups of activities and goals: mapping, measuring, assessing technologies, and shaping the future of digital copyright and digital culture and creativity.

MAPPING

reCreating Europe yields unprecedented cross-national maps of (i) multi-level regulatory responses that impact access to culture, cultural production, competitiveness of creative industries, and (ii) coping strategies of stakeholders vis-à-vis IPRs pitfalls and constraints.

MEASURING

reCreating Europe develops innovative qualitative and quantitative methods to measure the impact of digitization on the production and consumption of cultural goods and services. Changing intermediaries, specific creative communities, micro/SMEs and vulnerable users get special attention.

ASSESSING TECHNOLOGIES

reCreating Europe performs a legal and technological mapping and evaluation of TPMs and content-filtering algorithms, and their impact on cultural diversity, access to culture and the generation of cultural value.

SHAPING THE FUTURE

reCreating Europe offers policy recommendations and best practices, aimed at democratizing culture while reinforcing the sustainable development of rich and diverse cultural/ creative industries.

Stakeholders

reCreating Europe focuses on five groups of stakeholders: individual authors and performers, creative industries, cultural and heritage institutions, intermediaries and end-users. In this way, the project can assess needs along intertwined research patterns, while its multi-disciplinary innovative approach joins different methodologies within the framework of participatory research strategies.
