Julia Reda, German Pirate Party MEP, has presented a report promoting a series of measures to harmonise some aspects of copyright.

La Quadrature du Net supports this report and calls on citizens to get involved to push for its vote!







Call of video creators to support the Reda Report

A large number of amendments have been tabled in the JURI committee which subvert the spirit of the report and gut it entirely of its substance.

To ensure copyright gets a chance to finally be adapted to digital uses, it is crucial we do as much as possible to ensure the report is voted as is.

The vote on this report will take place on 16 April and the discussions on the amendments on 23 and 24 March.

We call on for citizens to contact the members of the Committee on Legal Affairs of the European Parliament (JURI) by mail or by phone to support the Reda Report.

This report proposes to strengthen the Public Domain and the reuse of works in the Public Domain (6)

This report wants to provide legal security for digital creative practices, notably mashups (14) by offering a more flexible exceptions system

This report defends the right to create hypertext links without it creating any new copyright-related obligations (15)

This report offers an harmonisation of the copyright exceptions between Member States. For example, the freedom of panorama would be recognised in France (11) ,

This report demands that the use of DRM be subjected to an obligation of transparency and interoperability (24)

These measures are simple, they will not hinder in any way creation and answer to needs identified by the citizens themselves in order to allow better access and sharing of culture in the digital environment
