The European Commission has launched a public consultation to collect contributions on modernising the EU copyright framework and to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2019 Copyright Directive in the digital single market. The initiative aims to verify whether the directive has facilitated the online use of protected content, improved licensing practices and made the copyright market fairer. The review will be supported by an external study already in progress and the Commission expressly requests observations on new challenges such as generative AI, piracy of live events, the remuneration of artists and access to works for research purposes. All stakeholders are invited to express views both on a revision of the 2019 directive and on a possible targeted legislative initiative. The consultation is open until 25 June 2026.
