What EU Digital Single Market Copyright Directive 2019/790 -- Online Platform Obligations and Creator Rights requires
Directive (EU) 2019/790 (DSM Copyright Directive) modernises EU copyright law for the digital environment. Member States were required to implement it by 7 June 2021. Article 3 introduces a mandatory exception for text and data mining (TDM) by research organisations for scientific research. Article 4 introduces a TDM exception for any purpose unless rights holders have opted out using machine-readable means. Article 15 creates a press publishers' neighbouring right (2 years duration) entitling press publishers to remuneration when online platforms reproduce their press publications; single words, individual words, and very short extracts used as hyperlinks are exempt. Article 17 holds Online Content Sharing Service Providers (OCSSPs - platforms like YouTube and TikTok that store and give access to large volumes of user-uploaded content) directly liable for copyright infringement unless they obtain authorisation or demonstrate they made best efforts to obtain authorisation, made best efforts to ensure unavailability of notified content, and acted expeditiously on notice to disable or prevent re-upload. Article 18 requires appropriate and proportionate remuneration for creators licensing their rights. Article 19 imposes a transparency obligation on licensees to report to creators at least annually on all modes of exploitation and revenue generated.
