2. EU Public Consultation on © rules :
Establishing a consensus for mutual benefit
The super-short summary is:
à we advocate for harmonised
and flexible copyright laws that
broaden and unify the current
limitations and exceptions,
à lowering the barriers of use for
educational purposes,
à clarifying the laws on text and
data mining,
à and last but not least, we make
a case for a reduction in the
term of copyright and for some
kind of registration system for
copyright.
