A further step towards the reform of European copyright was taken On 29 November 2016. The Committee on Legal Affairs of the European Parliament (JURI) not only voted for a proposal for a regulation on ensuring the cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market; in its Brussels meeting, JURI also organized a public hearing regarding one specific and highly discussed aspect of the current reform of European copyright – potential obligations for service providers. In the context of the very diverse Digital Single Market Strategy, the European Commission presented in total five drafts in order to modernize copyright law in the EU that have to pass the legislative process (see also our blog post).
