Abstract

This chapter delves into the EU's right of communication to the public, as outlined in Article 3 of the InfoSoc Directive, and its evolving interpretation in the digital world. It critically examines the CJEU's rulings on linking activities and the primary liability rules imposed on online content-sharing service providers. The text explores the implications of these interpretations for creativity, access to cultural works, and the business models of online platforms. It argues for a narrow interpretation of the right to strike a fair balance between the interests of copyright holders, platforms, and users. The chapter also discusses potential solutions, such as clarifying the concept of 'public' and imposing a duty of care on online platforms, to foster a more conducive environment for digital creativity.
