This article argues that the new rules are misguided, misconceiving the real problems afflicting modern copyright.

This is the central question that this paper addresses. To answer it, we first analyse the nature of the right included in Article 17. We argue that the nature of the right has a number of serious consequences for its licensing. First, it determines whether the right is mandated by public international law, and hence what licensing modalities are allowed under the 1994 WTO TRIPS Agreement and 1996 WIPO treaties. Second, it clarifies what other conditions European Union law itself imposes on the newly established right and its implementation into national law. These restraints shape the margin of discretion of EU Member States. Third, it may imply changes to existing licensing practices, including the need for collective rights management organisations to obtain new mandates. Fourth, it influences how Member States can incorporate users’ rights into the legal framework. We argue that Article 17 is a special or sui generis right. We identify how this right fits the existing international and EU law, and explain why the Member States have a broad margin of discretion when implementing the corresponding licensing regimes.

Op de informatiemarkt zijn de sociale media, zoekmachines en Apps de grootste ondernemingen geworden. Zij sturen op de persoon gerichte reclameboodschappen op de consument af. Maar ook de overheid gebruikt steeds meer data om macht uit te oefenen. Persoonsgegevens zijn het nieuwe sturingsmechanisme van een ge\"{i}ndividualiseerde samenleving. Het internet groeit in aansluitingsdichtheid en capaciteit. Het schept de voorwaarden voor communicatie die geen scherpe scheiding meer maakt tussen openbaar en priv\'{e}. Klassieke media, sociale en politieke organisaties zijn niet verdwenen, maar worstelen met de uitstroom van gebruikers en leden die zich steeds meer individueel of in informele verbanden organiseren. Voor het informatierecht betekent dit dat de klassieke modellen voor vrijheid van meningsuiting, auteursrecht, privacy en media- en telecommunicatierecht niet meer voldoen. Deze rechtsgebieden zijn ook steeds meer met elkaar verknoopt geraakt. Is een dataverzameling herleidbaar tot personen, free flow of information of eigendom? Wie is er verantwoordelijk voor de informatieboodschap? Het zijn vragen die tegelijkertijd om een antwoord vragen. Dit boek schetst aan de hand van de rechtspraak (een kleine driehonderd nationale en Europese uitspraken), de belangrijkste nationale en Europese wetswijzigingen en de belangrijkste discussies in de vakliteratuur van de laatste tien jaar, hoe deze verandering een heel rechtsgebied op zijn kop heeft gezet. Het laat zien hoe de mythe van cyberspace heeft plaats gemaakt voor een nieuw fenomeen. Dat is de wederzijdse doordringing van de elektronische media en de sociale werkelijkheid.

Op de informatiemarkt zijn de sociale media, zoekmachines en Apps de grootste ondernemingen geworden. Zij sturen op de persoon gerichte reclameboodschappen op de consument af. Maar ook de overheid gebruikt steeds meer data om macht uit te oefenen. Persoonsgegevens zijn het nieuwe sturingsmechanisme van een geïndividualiseerde samenleving. Het internet groeit in aansluitingsdichtheid en capaciteit. Het schept de voorwaarden voor communicatie die geen scherpe scheiding meer maakt tussen openbaar en privé. Klassieke media, sociale en politieke organisaties zijn niet verdwenen, maar worstelen met de uitstroom van gebruikers en leden die zich steeds meer individueel of in informele verbanden organiseren. Voor het informatierecht betekent dit dat de klassieke modellen voor vrijheid van meningsuiting, auteursrecht, privacy en media- en telecommunicatierecht niet meer voldoen. Deze rechtsgebieden zijn ook steeds meer met elkaar verknoopt geraakt. Is een dataverzameling herleidbaar tot personen, free flow of information of eigendom? Wie is er verantwoordelijk voor de informatieboodschap? Het zijn vragen die tegelijkertijd om een antwoord vragen. Dit boek schetst aan de hand van de rechtspraak (een kleine driehonderd nationale en Europese uitspraken), de belangrijkste nationale en Europese wetswijzigingen en de belangrijkste discussies in de vakliteratuur van de laatste tien jaar, hoe deze verandering een heel rechtsgebied op zijn kop heeft gezet. Het laat zien hoe de mythe van cyberspace heeft plaats gemaakt voor een nieuw fenomeen. Dat is de wederzijdse doordringing van de elektronische media en de sociale werkelijkheid. Of het nu gaat om het spelletje Pokémon of de opstand van de gele hesjes.
