Transforming Copyright Exceptions Into User Rights download
Abstract
In EU copyright law, the protection of the right to intellectual property is the rule, and breathing space for competing fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression, is the exception. While formally recognizing the need to balance protection interests against other fundamental rights and values, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) fails to give users relying on competing fundamental rights a robust position in the copyright system. The Court has developed a meaningless “user rights” rhetoric that produces the false impression of affording users – in line with the equal rank of their rights in the Charter – the chance of meeting right holders as equals. In practice, however, the Court insists on the reconciliation of competing rights within the confines of copyright legislation. As a result, the specific requirements for invoking exceptions and the open-ended three-step test become stumbling blocks that can easily thwart the assertion of competing fundamental rights. To develop meaningful user rights, it would be necessary to introduce upfront gatekeeper requirements that prevent illegitimate infringement claims from the outset when competing fundamental rights are at stake.

Exploring trust in a conversational news recommender through perceived enjoyment and personalisation external link
Abstract
Conversational Agents (CAs) are transforming how news is distributed, offering a more dialogic and personalised approach for users. This transformation may help news organisations reach new audiences and hold the potential not only for them to engage with a new public, but also to enhance trust in their news recommenders. Despite the growing use of CAs for news recommendations, there is a limited understanding of how CAs in comparison to websites affect trust in the news recommender. To fill this gap, we assess the influence of various potential antecedents of trust (i.e. perceived ease of use, enjoyment, personalisation, and privacy concerns) through an online experiment. The experiment (N = 595) compared a news recommender in either a traditional news website or a CA. The results showed that participants had lower levels of trust in CAs compared to websites mediated by perceived enjoyment. This finding suggests that the dialogic nature of CAs does not inherently enhance enjoyment in the news context. Additionally, perceived personalisation was found to be an important antecedent influencing trust in the news recommender. Overall, these findings suggest that news organisations offering conversational news should prioritise enjoyable interactions with relevant content for the users to enhance trust.

Europa gaat de AI-race nooit winnen. Tijd om slim te jatten external link
Abstract
Om AI-soeverein te worden zet de Europese Unie alles op alles voor reusachtige, peperdure, niet onomstreden AI-fabrieken. Maar terwijl politici bouwen aan technologie die over een paar jaar pas af is, draait de echte innovatie al op de laptop op je schoot.

Persvrijheidsmonitor 2025 download
Abstract
Ten opzichte van de rest van de wereld gaat het hier goed op het gebied van persvrijheid. Nederland klom in 2025 één plek omhoog op de internationale World Press Freedom Index van Reporters Without Borders en bezet nu de derde positie wereldwijd. Alleen Noorwegen en Estland doen het beter. In Nederland worden geen journalisten vermoord. Er zitten geen journalisten in de gevangenis en journalisten kunnen hun beroep in vrijheid uitoefenen. Wie de top-15 van de ranglijst bekijkt, ziet uitsluitend West-Europese landen en het contrast met de rest van de wereld is groot. Elders in de wereld ziet de werkelijkheid er radicaal anders uit: in Palestina werden in 2025 86 journalisten gedood, in Rusland zaten 59 journalisten gevangen, in Yemen werden 10 journalisten gegijzeld en in Congo verdwenen er 6. Achter de fraaie toppositie gaat een zorgwekkend deelcijfer schuil. Op het onderdeel ‘veiligheid’ bungelt Nederland namelijk op de 27e plaats. Dit is een score die al jaren niet wil verbeteren. Ook in 2025 nam het geweld tegen journalisten opnieuw toe. En vanuit de hoek van de PVV en BBB waren er ook in 2025 weer stevige aanvallen op de media, waarbij met name de NPO en Trouw het moesten ontgelden.
