In 2019, the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive allowed the analysis of large amounts of copyright-protected data through ‘text and data mining’ techniques, while giving rightsholders the possibility to refuse permission for their copyright-protected data to be mined. This ‘refusal’ is now being applied in practice by cultural heritage institutions. What legal and ethical questions does this raise?
The Europeana Public Domain Charter was developed in 2010 to ensure that cultural heritage could be reused as widely as possible. The Europeana Article 14 Task Force is reviewing the Charter to ensure that it continues to respond to relevant challenges. Discover the review process, and the feedback received during an online copyright office hours session dedicated to the topic.
On 20 June, the Europeana Copyright Community will hold a webinar Reviewing Europeana’s Public Domain Charter. Discover how - and why! you should join and look back on relevant reflections from the International Public Domain Day celebration at the Royal Library of Belgium earlier this year.
During this office hours session, members of the Europeana Article 14 Task Force shared views on an evaluation of the Europeana Public Domain Charter, and consulted participants about challenges around the public domain.
