Copyright for Creativity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Copyright for Creativity - A Declaration for Europe issued on 5 May 2010, is intended as a statement of how copyright policy could be constructed in the Internet Age. It comes against the background of political debate within Europe to rethink copyright in an era where the use of digital content without paying fees to the creators is part of the business model for some of the largest global internet platforms. Interests of content creators and online platform providers collide. The declaration has been written by a group from political party "European People's Party (EPP)"[1][citation needed][2] The Declaration focuses on both the exclusive rights and the limitations and exceptions to existing copyright rulings and standards.
The Declaration is influenced by the Adelphi Charter, which resulted from a project commissioned by the Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, London, UK.
