EU copyright reform: where are we now?
View this excellent and very informative discussion between MEP Julia Reda, artists Rita Zipora and Rufus Kain with the audience regarding problematic “ACTA like provisions” of Article 13 of the new Copyright Directive proposal.
“It should be deleted altogether” is a proposal of many most prominent experts. Here in Slovenia, the deletion of Article 13 is the position of the Ministry for Education as well as of the Ministry for Public Administration. But the Ministry for Commerce (namely the Slovenian Intellectual Property Office) supports the article. Unfortunately the Ministry of Commerce represents Slovenia at the Council working group meetings.
Domen Savić, Goran Klemenčič, Vuk Čosić, Lenart J. Kučić, József Györkös, Gorazd Božič in Maja Bogataj Jančič were the first signatories of the declaration “Acta ad acta”, with which they warned about the negative implications the legislation might bring. Now this legislation is on the table in an even more concrete form.
The 4th Open Knowledge Day took place on Tuesday 17 October 2023, with an accompanying workshop on 18 October 2023. This year it was organised by the Open Data and Intellectual Property Institute (ODIPI) and supported by Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21).
We invite you to the fourth Open Knowledge Day and the workshop, which will take place this year within the framework of the programme and with the support of Knowledge Rights 21. The event will bring together experts from different European countries to discuss two topics: the first part will deal with the legal basis for data analytics, which is a key part of machine learning and related artificial intelligence, and the general exception for research. In the second part, open science in theory and practice will be presented both in Slovenia and in some Western Balkan countries. Representatives of research and educational institutions from Slovenia and the Western Balkan countries, as well as interested members of the public, are invited to attend.
Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič, a renowned expert in copyright law, has joined the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where she will serve as an affiliate researcher for the next two years.
