reCreating Europe Final Conference – Report

/in , , /by

Three years of intense research and dissemination activities culminated in reCreating Europe’s final conference, which took place in Brussels on 21-22 March 2023. The Conference was an opportunity for project partners to celebrate, connect and discuss their results with reCreating’s key stakeholder groups, EU policy-makers, members of the European Parliament, academics, legal practitioners, representatives of NGOs, and copyright enthusiasts at large. Over 80 participants enjoyed two-days of panels, keynote speeches and presentations on all-things digital copyright law.

Day 1 – Museum of Natural Sciences

The first day of the event was hosted at the Museum of Natural Sciences, and was devoted to the presentation of the project’s substantive research results. The results were then commented on by distinguished scholars and members of key stakeholder categories.

The conference kicked off with the opening remarks of the project coordinator, Caterina Sganga (Associate Professor of Comparative Private Law, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna), who walked the audience through the three years of reCreating’s activities and results. Her intervention was followed by the presentations of two keynote speakers, Niva Elkin Koren (Professor of Law, Tel-Aviv University), who talked about copyright in generative AI modes, and Imke Reimers (Associate Professor of Economics, Northeastern University), who shared her reflections on the digital challenges in the book publishing industry.

The day was then structured around 5 panels – one per each group of stakeholders on which the project has focused its research. Panels presented the most relevant results of reCreating Europe, which were commented upon by a leading academic commentator and two representatives of stakeholders. For a full overview of the commentators, see the Final Conference Programme.

Session 1 – End-Users

Maria Lillà Montagnani (Professor of Commercial Law, Bocconi University) chaired the first session of the conference, which was centered around end-users’ perspectives. The session started with Caterina Sganga’s presentation of the results of reCreating Europe’s EU and comparative mapping of copyright flexibilities. Péter Mezei illustrated the findings of the empirical research conducted on online platforms’ end-user license agreements and their attitude vis-à-vis users’ rights and obligations. Arianna Martinelli and Joost Poort provided an update on the Global Piracy Studies, while Delia Ferri commented on the technological, legal and economic challenges, barriers, and opportunities for access to knowledge for vulnerable groups.

Session 2 – Authors, Performers, and AI

The next session focused on authors, performers, and AI, with Martin Senftleben (Professor of Intellectual Property Law and Director, Institute of Information Law, University of Amsterdam) taking over the role of chair. Joost Poort presented the results of a survey on authors’ and performers’ experiences with the use of AI and platform algorithms. Thomas Margoni and Martin Kretschmer reported on their study on the interplay of new technologies and IP, with a particular emphasis on AI training and text and data mining, whereas João Pedro Quintais illustrated reCreating’s report on interaction of copyright and neighbouring rights for AI (music) productions. Finally, Ula Furgal elaborated on the reversion rights.

Session 3 – Creative Industries

Chaired by Sean Flynn (Professor; American University, Washington College of Law), Session 3 was centered on creative industries. Eneli Kindsiko commented on the results of reCreating’s empirical studies on new business models and challenges in niche creative industries. Her talk was followed by Ingmar Pastak, who shed light on the impact of COVID-19 on selected creative enterprises. Bartolomeo Meletti and Stef van Gompel shared the codes of best practices the project developed for the reuse of copyright content in the field of documentary film-making. Alessandro Nuvolari and Raffaele Danna (Postdoctoral research fellow, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) offered an insight into the results of their surveys on EU-based IP negative spaces. The session ended with Bartolomeo Meletti’s presentation of a brand-new online platform for users and creators of copyright-protected works, www.CopyrightUser.EU.

Session 4 – Cultural Heritage Institutions (GLAM)

The panel on cultural heritage institutions was chaired by Marie-Christine Jannsen (Professor and Director; KU Leuven, CITiP). Roberto Caso and Paolo Guarda opened the session with an overview on their report on copyright and openness of cultural data. Giulia Dore and Laura di Nicola (Research fellow, University of Trento) followed up with a presentation of the results of their evidence-based research on the impact of digitisation for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. Last, Marta Iljadica and Pınar Oruç talked about the interaction of copyright, trademarks and placemaking. This session also hosted representatives from reCreating Europe’s sister-project, inDICEs, with Konrad Gliscinski, who presented their final policy recommendations.

Session 5 – Intermediaries

The final session, chaired by Tanya Aplin (Professor of Intellectual Property Law, King’s College London), revolved around intermediaries. João Pedro Quintais discussed the fragmentation of the EU legal landscape in the field of copyright content moderation, while Sebastian Schwemer shed light on the future of content-filtering. Christian Katzenbach and Daria Dergacheva (Postdoctoral researcher, University of Bremen) concluded by offering insights on their empirical research on content moderation on online platforms.

Day 2: European Parliament (Brussels)

(Online participation possible)

Registration: Register via Eventbrite

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.

reCreating Europe is pleased to announce our Final Conference and Project Review will take place on the 21st-22nd March 2023, in Brussels, Belgium. The two-day programme will be an opportunity to share all the project has achieved over the past three years and to discuss and debate these findings with key stakeholders. We invite you to join us for a series of expert talks and roundtables as we culminate our work on rethinking digital copyright law for a more culturally diverse, accessible and creative Europe.

Platforms’ content moderation & accountability – Evaluating the present and looking into the future

/in , , , /by

Date: 8/12/2022

Time: 10:00-12:30 CET

Venue: Zoom, register here. 

Platforms’ content moderation has been subject to substantive regulatory interventions over recent times; first and foremost with the CDSM Directive and the Digital Services Act (DSA). Time to take a step back and look at accountability – how is the present situation and how should the future look?

Among other topics, we will discuss:

  • Overlaps and missing pieces: Post-DSM Directive and DSA, where do we go from here, what is missing?
  • Transparency: in light of mandatory data access regimes for researchers, how can these be operationalised for the study of content moderation?

Panellists/participants will be announced on an on-going basis.

Registration

To sign-up for the workshop, register here.

Organisation

This workshop is part of the reCreating Europe work package 6 on intermediaries, where we study the content moderation of online platforms. At this workshop, we will explore content moderation and removal rules at EU and national level and the interplay with the legal framework conditions as well as removal practices’ and technologies’ impact on access and diversity.

The workshop is jointly organised by the University of Bremen’s Platform Governance, Media, and Technology Lab (Christian Katzenbach) and the University of Copenhagen’s Centre for Information and Innovation Law (Sebastian Schwemer).

Rethinking Copyright Flexibilities – Nicosia, 31 October-1 November

Date: 31st October-1st November, 2022

Venue: University of Cyprus,
Anastasios Leventis Building, Room B 108 and online 

Registration: Register for online participation here.

The relationship of copyright law with to public interest is often seen as unbalanced, biased, or dysfunctional. The evolution and structure of EU copyright law is characterized by an approach which emphasizes rigid protection of the private interests of right holders whilst lacking a systematic reflection on copyright flexibilities. However, flexibility is not foreign to copyright law principles; on the contrary, it is an organic component of copyright discourse and practice over the three centuries of its existence.

Copyright law addresses issues related to access to culture, participation in cultural life, dissemination of information, creativity, and freedom of art and science. Copyright law is designed as a principle-based legal framework that should ensure and provide the flexibility needed in these fields. The overall delicate equilibrium between right holders’ prerogatives and users’ interests and freedoms and the inherent limitations of copyright law are core elements of this flexibility. Additionally, the enhanced role of copyright law as a regulatory framework in the digital sphere increases the need for both flexibility and clarity regarding access and use of copyright-protected works. In parallel, the never-ending EU harmonization pushes for detailed rules and compromises that affect this flexibility.

In this context, and on the occasion of the launch of the Copyright Flexibilities database developed by the reCreating Europe project, the ‘Rethinking Copyright Flexibilities’ conference aims to provide some critical thinking concerning the present and future of copyright flexibilities in European copyright law and their evolutionary paths. The conference critically discusses the state of the art and evolution of copyright flexibilities in Europe, exploring their types, forms, limits, dynamics and perspectives, also in light of the most recent interventions of the EU legislators and landmark decisions of the Court of Justice of the EU, and debate opportunities and need for legislative reform.

Report: WIPS6 Conference in Szeged

/in , , /by

Author: István Harkai

Photos by Isabel Beirigo

May has been a busy month of conferences for participants of the reCreating Europe research consortium. We presented at the ‘Open Up Museums!’ workshop in Trento, at the ECS Annual Conference in Nottingham, and concluded this series in Szeged on 9-10 June at the sixth Workshop on Intellectual Property (WIPS6). Although the conference was mainly in-person, due to anomalies in European air traffic, several speakers were unable to arrive, so the conference became a hybrid event. This year, a significant part of the event was dedicated to the GLAM sector and cultural heritage issues, as well as to the intersection of consumer protection and copyright law. The event featured two GLAM@HOME panels and a GLAM@HOME Training session, which were streamed and recorded online to the public.

Take a look at the recording of these panel sessions here.

Organiser Péter Mezei welcomes participants and speakers to Szeged

Day 1 – GLAM@Home

Following the welcoming words of the main organizer and host of the event, Péter Mezei, the GLAM@HOME Panel started with an online presentation by keynote speaker, Maurizio Borghi (University of Torino), on rethinking the Commons in the era of data capitalism. Maurizio Borghi was followed by Camille Françoise (Creative Commons), who shared her thoughts on the future of open culture, with a copyright policy outlook.

Giulia Dore, Marta Arisi (University of Trento) and Pelin Turan (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) (all members of the H2020 ReCreating Europe WP5 GLAM research group) provided insights into a comparative EU analysis of the freedom of panorama and the reproduction of public domain art. The first panel ended with a presentation by Cristiana Sappa (IÉSEG School of Management) and Enrico Bondio (City University) on the challenges and opportunities for copyright stakeholders in the GLAM sector in the context of digitalisation.

The second GLAM@HOME Panel began with Svjetlana Ivanović (University of East Sarajevo), who addressed the issue of accessibility and digitisation of out-of-commerce works. She was followed by Francisco Duque Lima (KU Leuven), who analysed the intersection between non-commercial works and abandonware video games. Bohdan Widła (Jagiellonian University) closed the panel with a presentation on the question of scientific editions and first editions in the digital single market.

After the lunch break, a workshop-style session followed, namely the GLAM@HOME Training, where Péter Mezei and Ioanna Lapatoura (University of Nottingham) gave a training on NFTs and cultural heritage preservation, followed by the copyright practice of Francisco Duque Lima and Marta Arisi, who introduced the audience to the application of participatory problem-solving tools in the cultural heritage sector.

Franciso Duque Lima and Marta Arisi discuss the GLAM Training session

The first day ended with the ‘Junior Track’. Roya Pary Bouery (University Lyon 3 Jean Moulin) presented her research results on the restitution of artefacts looted during World War II and the role of the GLAM sector. Wojciech Biernacki (Adam Mickievicz University) talked about the relevance of the distinction of data, information, and knowledge in the light of exchange of non-personal data. The last speaker of the day was Flóra Anna Gubicz (Hungarian Intellectual Property Office), who shared her thoughts about whether the out-of-commerce regime will be a”game-changer” in the process of mass digitalisation.

Day 2 – Overlaps between Consumer Protection and IP Law

The second day of the conference was dedicated to overlaps between consumer protection and intellectual property. Kacper Szkalej (Lund University) theorised about the exhaustion of the making available right regarding the consumptive use of legal digital content. Simon Geiregat (Ghent University) shared his thoughts about the needs and wills of digital content consumers. The last segment was dedicated to the topics of IP and technology. Ioannis Revolidis (University of Malta), Radim Charvát (Masaryk University) and Antoni Rubí Puig (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) dedicated their presentations to the questions and problems raised by Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) from different perspectives. The session was closed by Anikó Grad-Gyenge (BME Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences), who talked about the impact of the development of EU law on the exclusive nature of copyright law.

A participant questions the speakers during a panel session

WIPS6 was a fantastic opportunity to host the series face-to-face in Szeged, for the first time in three years. Despite the challenges, the workshop successfully brought together junior and senior academics to discuss, debate and explore current issues in intellectual property law.

 

 

We look forward to welcoming you next year for WIPS7!
