To what extent is the user of a copyrighted digital work entitled to make a copy for personal use of the work without the copyright holder's consent? Are file-sharers shielded from copyright liability under the exception of private copying when they download music files from peer-to-peer networks for free? May Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies solve the digital copyright dilemma and become 'user-friendly'? These are some of the questions that this book considers in its thorough exploration of the legal framework of EU digital copyright law from the perspective of the 'end-user'. It provides a detailed examination of the implications that the spectacular rise of this new actor creates for the interplay between the EU copyright system and human rights law, competition law and other important policies contained in the EC Treaty. This book is the first comprehensive, critical analysis of its kind. It is crucial reading for lawyers, policymakers and academics interested in copyright law, competition law covering digital media and information technology, consumer digital rights, Internet governance, freedom of expression and user data protection in digital settings.

This book draws on the contents of the Ph. D. dissertation I wrote and defended at the European University Institute (EUI) of Florence. At the beginning of my - search, I did not expect to write a book on the intersection between copyright law and digital technologies and, in particular, on the implications that digitisation presents for the interests of users of copyrighted works. At that time, I was neither an expert on new technologies nor an avid user who viewed the Internet as a “no copyright land” where anyone should download whatever content for free. Before graduating from the University of Perugia School of Law, I had established myself as a clarinet player who performed mostly chamber music and the symphonic r- ertoire. I had also worked extensively as a radio speaker, music critic and writer with the Italian public broadcaster RAI-Radio3. In performing all these mus- related activities, I developed a considerable interest for copyright issues and, when choosing my dissertation topic, I immediately opted for a work on copyright law that examined the economic rights of music performers under the Italian and the EU legal systems. I was very curious to see how and to what extent the law sought to protect the subtle, particular kind of creativity and originality embodied in musical performances. That was my first step towards writing a book on co- right law. Books > Law eBook, Springer Shop<
