The Protection Of Copyrights Through Algorithms

In an era where millions of content creators are uploading their works online, copyright infringement has become very easy, being as simple as uploading a TikTok video or making an Instagram Story.

Due to the evolution of the digital market, the European Parliament and Council approved the Directive 2019/790 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market in April of 2019. When this directive first started to be draw back in 2016, there was a lot of controversy regarding article 13, which held liable online platforms such as YouTube or Facebook for possible copyrights violation from its user, unless "effective and proportionate measures" were taken to prevent the availability of unlicensed copyrighted works.
