Introduction
Article 13 has been in the news for some months now, and the
reception by the companies and people of the EU has been extremely
decisive. STA has covered the matter in a previous update, though
new events have now taken place on the topic.
The regulation itself looks to enforce technology-based
companies to provide a higher level of protection and policing
towards the use of copyrighted content on their platforms. These
platforms will be liable for infringements of copyrights by users
of their platforms. The primary purpose of the law is stated as
being, to ensure the protection of individuals and the creative
works that they initially produce, and prevent them from being used
without their permission.
