该指令的目标是什么?
What is the objective of the Directive?
数字单一市场著作权指令的目的是确保著作权保护的权利和义务,在互联网上使网络大公司与艺术家和在线新闻编辑分享他们的收入。值得注意的是,上述平台对用户在其网站上上传的内容负责,从而自动授予在线新闻编辑代表记者就新闻聚合者利用的内容进行谈判协议的权利。
The objective of Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market is to ensure that rights and obligations relating to copyright protection are guaranteed even on the internet, so that the big companies of the web share their incomes with artists and online news editors. It is also worth noticing that the above mentioned platforms are deemed responsible for the contents uploaded by the users on their websites, thus automatically granting to online news editors the right to negotiate agreements on the content exploited by news aggregators on behalf of journalists.
指令的重要性在哪?
Why the Directive is important?
该指令旨在让知识产权持有者,特别是音乐家、艺术家、演员、编剧和在线新闻编辑有机会利用在YouTube、Facebook和谷歌新闻等互联网平台上发表作品获得的收入达成更好的协议。
The Directive is aimed at giving holders of Intellectual Property Rights, in particular musicians, artists, actors, screenwriters, and online news editors, the opportunity to negotiate better agreements on the revenues derived from the exploitation of works published on internet platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Google News.
主要规定是什么?
What are Main Provisions?
《著作权指令》的许多规定旨在确保互联网继续成为言论自由的空间。如果原始报酬太低或与分销商的收入不成比例,著作权持有人有权就利用互联网平台的作品寻求额外报酬。
Many provisions of the Directive on Copyright were conceived to ensure that the internet continues to be a space of freedom of expression. Holders of copyrights will be entitled to seek additional remuneration for the exploitation of their works by internet platforms whenever the original remuneration appears to be too low or disproportioned if compared to the incomes of the distributors.
不包括哪些内容?
What is excluded?
在维基百科或开源软件平台上上传内容被排除在欧盟知识产权指令的范围之外。此外,《著作权指令》规定,在线内容共享服务提供商有义务在公众访问其用户在其网站上上传的作品或其他受著作权保护的材料时,需要向著作权所有者请求许可。这是向公众提供和沟通的行为。
The upload of content on free online encyclopedias such as Wikipedia or on open source software platforms is excluded from the scope of the EU Intellectual Property Directive. Moreover, the Directive on Copyright introduced obligations for online content sharing service providers to request permission from the copyright owner every time they give public access to works or other copyrighted materials uploaded on their websites by their users, as this is an act of making available and communication to the public.
未经授权的共享会发生什么情况?
What happens if non authorized sharing?
在没有所有者许可的情况下,在线内容共享服务提供商将负责任何未经授权的向公众通信的行为。
In the absence of the owner's permission, online content sharing service providers will be held responsible for any non-authorised act of communication to the public.
