What?
The Modern copyright for digital media conference
was held in Brussels at the European Parliament
on the 16 and 17 March.
On Tuesday evening participants gathered for
a live TV show, showcasing public service media
content on all platforms and addressed some challenges
raised by the copyright framework. The live show
was hosted by two presenters and included an
interactive talk show with live interviews, video
clips and a live music act.
In a separate session on 17 March the EBU put
forward its ideas on copyright modernization
and then opened the discussions to the floor
during an interactive panel debate.
Video files from both days will be available
on this site soon.
Why?
The digital revolution offers great
opportunities for Europe and its citizens.
Audiences can now access media content on a
range of new digital delivery platforms – most
importantly the internet – wherever and
whenever they want.
In response to these changing patterns
of consumption, public service media
offer quality content on all new platforms
and are important investors in new technologies
and new forms of content distribution.
But is the regulatory environment adapted
to the dynamic developing media environment?
EU content regulation (Audiovisual Media Services
Directive) and infrastructure rules (Telecom
Package Directives) have been brought up to date,
but what about the related copyright framework?
These questions and more - as well as potential
solutions - were covered during the two-day event.
