MAKING EU COPYRIGHT RULES FIT FOR THE DIGITAL AGE

Delivering on its Digital Single Market strategy, the Commission’s proposal  is to allow Europeans to travel with their online content and to modernise EU copyright rules. At present, Europeans travelling within the EU may be cut off from online services providing films, sports broadcasts, music, e-books or games that they have paid for in their home country. The  proposed Regulation on the cross-border portability of online content services addresses these restrictions in order to allow EU residents to travel with the digital content they have purchased or subscribed to at home.
