Talk:Freedom of Panorama

CCIA comments on FoP in 2024

From: COMMENTS OF THE COMPUTER & COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION REGARDING FOREIGN TRADE BARRIERS TO U.S. EXPORTS FOR 2025 REPORTING by the w:en:Computer & Communications Industry Association, dated October 17, 2024.

The Copyright Directive does not harmonize the exceptions and limitations across the EU. The freedom of panorama exception (the right to take and use photos of public spaces) was left out of the proposal entirely. Moreover, while a provision on text and data mining is included, the qualifying conditions are highly restrictive. The beneficiaries of this exception are limited to “research organizations,” excluding individual researchers and startups.
