The law governing the substance of contracts on copyright and
neighbouring rights is no longer exclusively in the hands of national
legislators. The 2019 Digital Single Market Directive has now indeed
forced Member States to adapt the core of their copyright contracting
legislation to implement the choices made by the European legislature.
Moreover, technological and societal developments have produced many
other unprecedented issues in relation to copyright contracts.
The current book combines the outcomes of two lines of research:
- the implementation of the brand-new contract-law rules established in title IV “Measures to achieve a well-functioning marketplace for copyright” of chapter III of the DSM Directive
- authors cast a new light on a careful selection of copyright contracting issues that have recently arisen in the digital context.
