Abstract

Major potential changes to the internet landscape in Europe are afoot. Far-reaching copyright amendments have crept into a review of European communications policy. Alarmingly, there’s scant awareness or commentary on the immediate issues on the table. Whether one supports the rights holders, ISPs or consumers is moot. The proposed new copyright provisions will affect both providers and users. As currently cast, these misplaced amendments are seriously ill-conceived. This Report exposes the threats these amendments pose and suggests preventive and defensive measures for those who could be affected.
