Once in effect, the rules will likely encourage publishers and music and movie producers to pursue money from online platforms in exchange for displaying their content.
Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Facebook Inc. and freedom of speech activists suffered a blow after the European Parliament rubber-stamped new rules that could curb access to online media in Europe.
“This is an unprecedented victory for European creators, who will now be able to exercise their rights and receive fair remuneration from platforms such as YouTube,” said Anders Lassen, president of GESAC, a European umbrella association of authors and composers. The copyright rules improved on earlier drafts but will “still lead to legal uncertainty and will hurt Europe’s creative and digital economies,” a Google spokesman said. “The details matter, and we look forward to working with policymakers, publishers, creators and rights holders as EU member states move to implement these new rules.”
The European Parliament passed the legislation Tuesday with 348 lawmakers in favor, 274 against and 36 abstaining. The legislation still needs to be rubber-stamped by the bloc’s member states before it takes effect.
