Net Neutrality And The European Union’S Copyright Directive For The Digital Single Market, Nathan Guzé
Net Neutrality And The European Union’S Copyright Directive For The Digital Single Market, Nathan Guzé
Loyola of Los Angeles International and Comparative Law Review
The European Union’s Copyright Directive for the Digital Single Market should cause concern for net neutrality advocates. This article casts a critical gaze at Article 17 (previously Article 13) of this new Directive. It chronicles the Directive’s life: starting as a reaction to the perceived inadequate copyright protections provided by the previous Information Society Copyright Directive through to its then-present status circa May 2019.

The ITC responded by recommending tariffs on global solar photovoltaic …
