The new Copyright legislation: Implementing Article 18

The new EU Copyright Directive is a historic opportunity for audiovisual authors that must be seized now. It will take a long time until there will be such an EU reform again. Looking back, the last comprehensive Copyright Directive dates back to 2001, 19 years ago. The implementation of this Directive is the chance to get national Copyright legislation right.
