incorporation

On may works of copyright are vested in an incorporated entity (a commercial company, a public corporation etc) because the servants of the entity or the subcontractors have agreed that any thing they write for the entity belongs to the entity. How does European law decide the length of copyright for such a entity that in theory may not have a "death" (legal termination)? --Philip Baird Shearer 10:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title

This article's title isn't completely satisfactory as it makes the reader assume that one law actually applies for all 27 member states. This is not the case, and the individual member states still have to implement any directive in order for it to become legally binding. "Copyright law in the European Union" or "Copyright harmonization attempts in the European Union" would be more accurate titles. Valentinian T / C 22:19, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Checking a detail

I just want to check a detail is eveything in the limitations section ways to make publishing work you do not own legal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.15.93.74 (talk) 19:37, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just like Ajit Pai wanting to repeal net neutrality in the United States, this is another huge threat to the Internet. Former Digital Commissioner Günther Oettinger set out some copyright proposals that include an ancillary copyright in Article 11, which digital advocacy groups such as OpenMedia and EDRi spoke out against, and an obligation to monitor and filter copyrighted content in Article 13, which is like SOPA and PIPA all over again, which Wikipedia blacked out to protest. Even German MEP Julia Reda says that Wikipedia will have to monitor uploads in case of uploads. This isn't even reported in the media, yet it impacts everyone in the world. Hopefully Avaaz will speak out about it, along with the FCC trying to repeal net neutrality. --22:37, 20 April 2017, Mrs. Jan Cola.
