ALAI Resolution on the value gap
ALAI Resolution on the European proposals for a Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market of 14 September 2016 to introduce fairer sharing of the value when works and other protected material are made available by electronic means, (adopted on 18. February 2017 during the meeting of the Executive Committee of ALAI in Paris)
ALAI considers however:
- that the proposed construction would be stronger and more effective if the solutions put forward in recital 38 were enshrined in an Article of the future directive;
- that certain translations of recital 38 (particularly the French and German versions) would gain from being redrafted in that they are likely to mislead readers concerning the place of the right of communication to the public.
