Digital books and copyright: a European debate

Only 1% of the books in Europe's national libraries have been digitised so far, leaving an enormous task ahead of us. However, it is also needed to take a hard look at the copyright system. Does the present framework still fit for the digital age?

Europe is facing a very important cultural and economic challenge: Only some 1% of the books in Europe's national libraries have been digitised so far, leaving an enormous task ahead of us, but also opening up new cultural and market opportunities. However, it is also needed to take a hard look at the copyright system we have today in Europe. Does the present framework still fit for the digital age? Will the current set of rules give consumers across Europe access to digitised books? Will it guarantee fair remuneration for authors? Will it ensure a level playing field for digitisation across Europe, or is there still too much fragmentation following national borders?The Valencian Regional Office in Brussels proposes a discussion between the actors involved in this important cultural and economic challenge, like policymakers, interested stakeholders and the media in order to achieve a rich debate.
