Abstract:

This chapter aims to analyze the current European Union legislation on digital copyright from the perspective of the public interest in scientific research, by studying the digital exclusive rights framework granted to creators and to database owners and by contraposing it with the foreseen narrow field of public interest-based limitations on exclusive rights. The chapter concludes by identifying the necessity to redefine a new internal balance of copyright law which can respect authors' and database owners' legitimate economic interests and simultaneously promote the dissemination and the access to works for scientific research, publishing purposes, and the renewal of the creative cycle.

Topics Covered
  • Digital libraries
  • Fair use and limitations on exclusive rights
  • Technical protection measures (TPM)
  • Digital rights management (DRM)
  • Copyleft and free/open source contents
