Copyright in libraries: Commission acts to ensure that authors are remunerated

Anonymous Patron writes “Copyright in libraries: Commission acts to ensure that authors are remunerated : One from Europe where The European Commission has decided to refer Italy and Luxembourg to the European Court of Justice for failure to implement fully into national legislation the “public lending rightâ€? provided for by a 1992 Directive. By introducing a public lending rightâ€? the EU is aiming to ensure that creative effort is protected and encouraged throughout the European Union. In a related development, the Commission has also launched infringement proceedings against Belgium, Finland and Sweden because these Member States have not complied with the 2004 rulings of the Court requiring them to implement the 2001 Copyright Directive.”
