DVP, the Society for Press Neighbouring Rights, has signed its first agreement with Microsoft under the EU directive granting neighbouring rights to publishers and press agencies. This landmark deal ensures compensation for rights holders whose content appeared on Bing between 2019 and 2024, marking a significant step toward sustainable remuneration for press content in the digital space.

We are pleased to announce that AEAPAF and VEGAP have formalised an agreement that enables rights holders to receive equitable remuneration for private copying through AEAPAF’s member agencies and archives.

We are thrilled to share that the Fédération Nationale des Agences de Presse Photos et Informations (F.N.A.P.P.I.) has successfully signed a significant framework agreement with Google on neighbouring rights. The agreement, inked on November 7, 2023, underlines the commitment to protecting content under the European Copyright Directive.
