Brussel, 28th february 2017.
CEPIC is furtheron seeking to close the so-called “framing loophole“.
The Conference “Right to Digital Value” organized by EVA on 28 February 2016 at the European Parliament provided another opportunity to push the issue in the awareness of MEPs and their understanding.
This was an excellent conference on the issues of transfer of value, framing and collecting societies solutions. Authors have a right to the Digital Value produced on the Internet.
The room was packed with a couple of MEPs or their assistant as well as industry stakeholders.
Below, some pictures on the conference and Alfonso’s presentation.
