The 60 year copyright levies saga: high time for reform

Copyright levies are a 60-year-old framework originally designed for a world of cassette tapes and VHS—but in today’s digital landscape, they add substantial costs to electronic devices, stifling competitiveness and hindering the EU’s single market. As technology and consumer behaviour have evolved, so too must our approach to copyright levies.

Can Europe reshape copyright levies to fit the digital age and benefit consumers, creators, and businesses alike?

Join us for a deep dive into DIGITALEUROPE’s latest white paper, where we’ll discuss the current state of copyright levies across Europe, spotlight challenges within the single market, and explore Finland’s innovative approach as a model for EU-wide reform. This session brings together industry leaders, and digital economy experts to discuss the path forward.

Key questions we’ll cover:

  • What are copyright levies, and why does the system no longer make sense?
  • How copyright levy system impacts consumers and businesses?
  • How does the fragmented levy landscape weaken Europe’s single market?
  • What lessons can we learn from Finland’s state-managed fund model?

Agenda and speakers to follow.
