EU-Urheberrechtsrichtlinie JETZT! Joint statement: Time to improve and adopt the Copyright Directive
Als Mitglied der Federation of Screenwriters of Europe unterstützt der VDD eine gemeinsames Schreiben von 28 europäischen und internationalen Verbänden und Verwertungsgesellschaften an die TRILOG-Verhandler in Brüssel. Diese Woche muss zur lang erwarteten Verabschiedung einer modernen Europäischen Urheberrechts-Richtlinie führen.
Wie es im Schreiben heißt: Ohne die Richtlinie haben die Urheber in Europa keine Garantie, faire Vergütungen für die Onlinenutzzungen ihrer Werke zu erhalten und dem Kreativsektor werden verbindliche gesetzliche Grundlagen fehlen, funktionierende Geschäftsmodelle für die Zukunft zu entwicklen.
Wir haben keine Verständis für aktuelle Aufrufe aus dem Kreis der Verwerter, diese wichtige Grundlage für die Zukunft der Urheber und die Branche kurz vor Schluss zu stoppen.
Wir brauchen die Urhebeberrechts-Richtlinie jetzt!

Published on 11.02.2019
Distinguished trilogue negotiators,
We, the undersigned organisations representing authors, performers, and others working in all artistic fields, news agencies, book, press and music publishers and independent music producers urge you to work constructively to improve and to adopt the Copyright Directive in the Digital Single Market at this week’s trilogue meetings.
The current mandate from COREPER on Friday is a crucial step towards the Directive's adoption, even though further improvements are needed to make the text truly meaningful for the cultural and creative sectors. This Directive has been long sought to create a necessary level playing field for all creative sectors in the European Digital Single Market, whilst giving consumers better access to more content in a secure environment.
Without the Directive, creators will be left with no guarantee of obtaining a fair remuneration online and our sectors will be subject to great legal uncertainty regarding future practices. Failing to adopt the Directive would mean missing a historic opportunity, be extremely detrimental to European culture, and also represent a fundamental failure for European policymaking.
The time has come to make the final effort to improve the text and reach an agreement at the trilogue. It is time to show that the European Union cares for its citizens, creators, values and cultural diversity and can stand up to protect them.
We trust that your thoughtful political judgment and sense of fairness will prevail to bring this legislative process to a successful conclusion.
