Rezumat: Textul Directivei UE 2019/790 privind drepturile de autor pe piaţa unică digitală stabilește mai multe reguli menite să protejeze drepturile de autor în sfera digitală, alături de mai multe excepţii care permit utilizarea conţinutului protejat, fără a fi nevoie de consimţământul titularului drepturilor de autor.

De un real interes pentru noi este art. 17 din Directivă, care stabilește responsabilitatea platformelor online, precum YouTube sau Facebook, pentru conţinutul încărcat de utilizatori, atunci când acest lucru ar conduce la încălcarea drepturilor de autor. Totodată, sunt stabilite anumite limite legale care permit utilizarea conţinutului, cum ar fi parodiile, criticile sau recenziile (art. 5 din Directiva 2001/29/CE).

Având în vedere cele de mai sus, ne propunem să analizăm comparativ unele dintre limitele drepturilor de autor, oglindind o posibilă versiune întâlnită în Canada sub forma conţinutului generat de utilizatori.

Întrebarea la care vom răspunde prin intermediul acestui studiu este: „Cum protejăm drepturile de autor în sfera digitală și, în special, la nivelul platformelor online utilizate pentru distribuirea conţinutului ?”.

Cuvinte-cheie: fair use, user generated content, opere derivate, limite, drept de autor.
