Abstract

Austria’s Copyright Law is mainly determined by EU legislation and is therefore limited with regard to the possibility to autonomously create exclusions and limitations to copyright. The Austrian legislator is first and foremost limited by the closed system of exceptions and limitations of Directive 2001/29 (Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society, OJ 2001, L 167, p. 10.) (hereinafter “InfoSoc Directive”). National copyright law can accordingly only provide for exceptions beyond the list of exceptions in Article 5 InfoSoc Directive if covered by the grandfather clause.
