Copyright in EU Perspective

English Spoken

Update on how Eurocommissioners are twisting amongst one another regarding the copyright portfolio, and what else went down in Europe since Eurosonic Noorderslag 2010. This October Neelie Kroes assumingly announced the end of collecting societies like Buma and Sena. The way forward? Or was this a misinterpretation of what the Dutch European Commissioner said? Eather way, the copyright issue is a hot topic here at home and in Europe . Willem Wanrooij, lobbyist for Buma / Stemra, shares his views on Copyright in EU perspective.
