Panel discussion at CPDP 2020: We need to talk about filters: algorithmic copyright enforcement vs data protection. external link
Abstract
The new Copyright in the Digital Single Market (DSM) Directive was published in May 2019. Its most controversial provision is Article 17 (ex 13), which creates a new liability regime for user-generated content platforms, like YouTube and Facebook. The new regime makes these platforms directly liable for their users’ uploads, without the possibility of benefiting from the hosting safe-harbour. This forces platforms to either license all or most of the content uploaded by users (which is near impossible) or to adopt preventive measures like filters. The likely outcome is that covered platforms will engage in general monitoring of the content uploaded by their users. This panel will discuss the issues raised by Article 17 DSM Directive and the model of algorithmic enforcement it incentivizes, with a focus on the freedom of expression and data protection risks it entails.
• Article 17 of the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive creates a new liability regime for user-generated content platforms.
• Does this provision introduce de facto the controversial upload filtering systems and, as a result, general monitoring of information in content-sharing platforms?
• Is Article 17 essentially in conflict with the GDPR and, in particular, the principle of minimisation and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making processes? What are the potential consequences of this provision on users’ freedom of expression?
• If Article 17 can negatively affect data protection and freedom of expression what are the possible legal and extra-legal responses to neutralise the risk?

De ‘Affaire Ruf’: Crisis in het Stedelijk Museum external link
Abstract
In oktober 2017 werd het Stedelijk Museum getroffen door een bestuurlijke crisis. De directrice Beatrix Ruf werd door NRC Handelsblad beschuldigd van belangenverstrengeling omdat zij verzamelaars zou hebben bevoordeeld en zelf tijdens haar directeurschap ongeoorloofde neveninkomsten zou hebben genoten. Onder druk van deze publiciteit verlangde de Raad van Bestuur van het Museum haar aftreden en trad zij terug. Later onderzoek door een onafhankelijke commissie wees uit dat deze beschuldigingen niet terecht waren. Toen kwam aan het licht dat de Ondernemingsraad van het Museum haar al voor deze beschuldigingen dwarsboomde en haar niet terug wilde.
Dit boek laat zien dat deze crisis voortkwam uit structurele oorzaken. Het traceert de geschiedenis van de verzelfstandiging van dit museum, de kostbare renovatie en de organisatorische structuur van ‘zelfstandige’ musea in het algemeen en het Stedelijk in het bijzonder. Het laat zien dat er veel fout zat en zit. Tegen deze achtergrond reconstrueert het nauwkeurig het verloop van de ‘affaire Ruf’. De conclusie is dat er teveel zaken zijn die in de doofpot dreigen te verdwijnen.

Film Financing in the Digital Single Market: Challenges to Territoriality external link
Abstract
This article discusses the role of territorial licences for feature films against the background of judicial and market developments in the EU. Currently, territorial licences are deemed a cornerstone of the exploitation and financing of films in Europe. However, current models of film financing are under increasing pressure both from market developments such as the turbulent growth of global online video platforms, and from developments in EU law aimed at removing national territorial barriers to the Single Market. Examples are the rule of Union-wide exhaustion of the distribution right, the EU Portability Regulation and the country of origin rules for satellite broadcasting and online simulcasting. EU competition law sets additional limits to grants of territorial exclusivity, and prohibits clauses in broadcasting and pay television licences that prevent or restrict “passive” sales to consumers/viewers in non-licensed territories. The freedom of right holders to preserve territorial exclusivity by way of contract is likely to become increasingly vulnerable to EU competition law, as underlying territorial rights no longer support territorial grants. For the film sector where territorial exclusivity remains indispensable, the European Commission could create specific competition law rules in the form of “block exemptions”. Language exclusivity – i.e. exclusive grants of rights for distinct language versions of a film – could provide a practical and legally more robust alternative to territorial licensing.

Prospective Policy Study on Artificial Intelligence and EU Trade Policy external link
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is poised to be 21st century’s most transformative general purpose technology that mankind ever availed itself of. Artificial intelligence is a catch-all for technologies that can carry out complex processes fairly independently by learning from data. In the form of popular digital services and products, applied artificial intelligence is seeping into our daily lives, for example, as personal digital assistants or as autopiloting of self-driving cars. This is just the beginning of a development over the course of which artificial intelligence will generate transformative products and services that will alter world trade patterns. Artificial intelligence holds enormous promise for our information civilization if we get the governance of artificial intelligence right.
What makes artificial intelligence even more fascinating is that the technology can be deployed fairly location-independent. Cross-border trade in digital services which incorporate applied artificial intelligence into their software architecture is ever increasing. That brings artificial intelligence within the purview of international trade law, such as the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and ongoing negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) on trade related aspects of electronic commerce. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs commissioned this study to generate knowledge about the interface between international trade law and European norms and values in the use of artificial intelligence.
