Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the Digital Single Market Directive implemented by the European Union, and how it will impact the position of authors, rightholders, User Generated Content platforms and content creators. Article 17 has been subject to much controversy, this contention is related to the shift in intermediary liability and online platforms for copyright protected content hosted on their platforms by their users. This paper will attempt to give an overview of the copyright protection pre-DSMD, the policy rationale for the new Directive, analyse how platforms deal with copyright infringement, and what mechanisms they might employ under the new directive to deal with copyright infringement. And will also discuss whether this new legislative instrument undermines the crucial fundamental freedoms available under The Charter in the European Union.
