HvJ EU: Collectieve vertegenwoordiging voor out-of-print books moet auteursrechten respecteren zonder formaliteiten
HvJ EU 16 november 2016, IEF 16377; IEFbe 1995; IT 2172; C-301/15 (Soulier en Doke) Auteursrecht en naburige rechten. Exclusief reproductierecht. Wettelijke collectieve vertegenwoordiging voor out-of-print books. Uit het persbericht: The copyright directive precludes national legislation authorising the digital reproduction of out-of-print books in breach of the exclusive rights of authors. National legislation must guarantee the protection accorded to authors by the directive and ensure, in particular, that they are actually informed of the envisaged digital exploitation of their work, while being able to put an end to it without formalities.
