The EU’s proposed copyright reforms have been the subject of much debate, especially in the finer details. Both sides of the debate fundamentally agree with the need for protections for creators and rights holders, but the nitty-gritty has caused a divide.
Last Thursday, MEPs Eva Maydell (Paunova), Brando Benifei, and Julia Reda co-hosted an event with the Digital Agenda Intergroup at the European Parliament called 'Digital Single Market – Rocket fuel for EU Startups?'.
The day featured talks and panel discussions examining the state of the EU’s Digital Single Market, copyright reform, how startups can benefit from, or are hindered by, the policy changes, and how the EU can create effective legislation for major companies and startups alike.
