Samenvatting :
In collaboration with the
Bibliothèque
Nationale de
Luxembourg and
Knowledgeland, the Institute is conducting
research about the copyright bottlenecks within Europeana.
Desk research and consultations with stakeholders will be used to analyse
the situation on
at least two main
topics and produce a report and recommendations:
-
Topic 1:
Protection durations. The duration of
protection for books,
sound, images and film as well as specific rules on moral rights expiration
/ perpetuity and the impact of EU law (e.g.
Directive 2006/116 on the term
of protection of copyright and certain related rights) will be analysed.
The resulting analysis will also be the basis for a Decision Tree upon which
the web-based Public Domain Helper Tool will be built. For some content types
and jurisdictions the layers and durations of rights may be so complex, that
a decision tree version is neither useful nor approriate. These cases will
be identified on a case by case process and in consultation with the common
IPR workgroup. This evidence
also supports the
Europeana Public Domain
Charter.
Research into this area has resulted in the production of the Public Domain
Calculators website,
outofcopyright.eu. The website was launched on 3 May 2011 with 13
jurisdictions, while more are currently in preparation.
Outofcopyright.eu
presents research done by the Institute of Information Law and Kennisland
Nederland to help consumers of content to determine whether a work is still
protected by copyright or not. The Public Domain Calculators are intended to
assist Europeana in the determination of whether or not a certain work or
other subject matter vested with copyright or neighbouring rights (related
rights) has fallen into the public domain and can therefore be freely copied
or re-used. The Calculators provide a simple interface between the user and
the often complex set of national rules governing the term of protection.
The issue is of significance for Europeana, as contributing organisations
will be expected to clearly mark the material in their collection as being
in the public domain, through the attachment of a Creative Commons Public
Domain Mark, whenever possible.
