Music metadata improvement—copyright, fundamental rights and data law

Editorial. This special issue contains six articles that analyse music metadata issues through various, primarily legal lenses. A central question for each of the articles is how EU law can contribute to improving music metadata for Europe, to increase the visibility and availability of the European repertoire for the European music economy in general and to further repertoire from composers and performers from a marginalized or underrepresented background in terms of language, ethnicity or gender.
