Either way, Article 13 will lead the EU and all OCSSPs who wish to operate there toward a closed web, dominated by the works of major rightsholders and putting independent creators at a disadvantage. 13 amounts to a broad value judgement about which artists deserve additional compensation to fill the ''value gap'' and ignores the likelihood that many independent artists will be worse off, either because it will simply be easier to block content from unknown rightsholders than to establish a compliant licensing mechanism or because of the complexities and failures of automated filtering systems (the mandatory back-up option for unlicensed works). Alternatively, it may be that major rightsholders are the only intended beneficiaries of Article 13's efforts to enhance licensing negotiations. ![]() As in, ''in exchange for, and by the use of our service you hereby agree to grant us permission to make this work available, including by extending permission to other OCSSPs to make the same or similar works available on their sites.''įirst, if they actually believe that only the movie studios', music labels', and publishers' works are protected by copyright, then their understanding of copyright is fundamentally flawed. In reality, an Article 13-compliant blanket licensing program must either a) have a method for tracking and distributing royalties to every person on Earth whose original content appears in any way on any OCSSP operating in the EU or b) be based on a universal license fee of zero. ![]() ![]() Again, this model might work if the only rightsholders in question are major studios, publishers, and labels they already have some of the internal mechanisms necessary to track artists and distribute royalties to them. The premise is this: OCSSPs would obtain ''blanket licenses'' covering all uploaded content by paying into a collective fund that would then be distributed to all relevant rightsholders, according to how often and in what ways their protected content appears on OCSSP sites.
