The latest article by Junior Associate Michelle Camilleri considers the latest updates
in terms of the new EU Copyright Directive and its implications now
that it has been approved by the EU Parliament.
The EU Directive on copyright in the Digital Single Market (the
"Copyright Directive") reached an important milestone on
the 26th of March 2019 when it was approved by the European
Parliament, by 348 votes to 274. The highly-debated Copyright
Directive, which has been in the pipeline for over two years, has
finally been given the green light meaning that the notorious
articles 11 and 13 (now renumbered as articles 15 and 17,
respectively) will eventually form part of the EU member
states' national legislation.
