The changes Google is pushing for to the
European Union’s proposed Copyright Directive “would have detrimental effects
on the availability of — and your access to — high-quality online news and
information in Europe ,” says the NMA.
“Currently online platforms such as Google and
other corporate businesses can use — and make money from — publishers’ online
news content every day, paying the publishers nothing,” says the NMA.
The European Parliament has voted to alter its
copyright directive to make aggregator sites responsible for copyright
violations, among other changes. A clause known as Article 11 would create a
so-called Publishers’ Right. There is more than one version of Article 11 being
looked at, according to NMA.
The directive would need to go through several
steps to become laws in the member states.
