In the European Union, civil society organizations and GLAMs are working together to fix copyright rules in order to allow for more efficient digitization, preservation and access to cultural heritage online. The latest EU copyright reform introduced a “public domain safeguard”, new rules allowing the digitization and use of “out of commerce works”. It failed to provide for a “fair use” exception and to overhaul a half-baked “orphan works” exception. The presentation will give an overview of these four demands and explain how they work in practice and which issues they can solve.
