Net Neutrality And The European Union’S Copyright Directive For The Digital Single Market, Nathan Guzé Oct 2019

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. Next, net neutrality is defined, and its benefits and detriments are weighed to ultimately determine the policy is desirable. Article 17’s call for eliminating safe-harbor provisions for content hosts and its call for content filters signal …


O Colapso Do "Joga Bonito": How Fifa's Banishment Of Third-Party Ownership Runs Counter To European Union Law And Has Tarnished The Once Beautiful Game, Brendan A. Bailey Jan 2019

O Colapso Do "Joga Bonito": How Fifa's Banishment Of Third-Party Ownership Runs Counter To European Union Law And Has Tarnished The Once Beautiful Game, Brendan A. Bailey

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

FIFA banned the practice of third-party ownership, the division and sale of a portion of a football player's economic rights to an outside investor, in 2015. The ban was nondiscriminatory, applying to all types of third-party ownership utilized throughout football. Since then, the practice has all but disappeared internationally, with FIFA quashing occurrences of the practice through large fines and other forms of punishment. FIFA's move to ban the practice came shortly after pressure from leagues that banned it years before--principally the English Premier League, one of the most influential leagues in Europe. However, such a ban was largely propped …

Marching To The Beat Of The Eu's Drum: Refining The Collective Management Of Music Rights In The United States To Facilitate The Growth Of Interactive Streaming, Gary W. Hunt Iii

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

In the digital era, interactive streaming is now the preferred method for music consumers to access their favorite albums and songs. The traditional copyright system used to administer music rights and royalties has not evolved accordingly, which not only impedes progress by music platform innovators, but also frustrates artist, labels, and composers who are unable to reap the benefits of their music rights. This Note examines the complex process interactive streaming services undergo to obtain the rights necessary to stream music through their platforms, which involves a discussion of collective rights organizations. This Note then argues that the European Directive …

“Fit For Purpose”: Why The European Union Should Not Extend The Term Of Related Rights Protection In Europe., Susanna Monseau Mar 2009

“Fit For Purpose”: Why The European Union Should Not Extend The Term Of Related Rights Protection In Europe., Susanna Monseau

Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal

This paper argues that the European Union should not, as it currently proposes, extend the term of protection for sound recordings in Europe. It compares the U.K. government’s current policy that the scope and length of copyright protection for sound recordings should not be extended, with that of the European Union which, encouraged by the French government particularly, has recently proposed an extension from the fifty-year term to a ninety-five-year term of copyright protection for sound recordings. It analyzes several major independent reviews of the evidence on extending copyright protection for sound recordings, including the findings and recommendations of the …
