9th Conference on Authors’ Rights by the Initiative Urheberrecht
The complex EU Copyright Directive came into force in Germany this summer. IU member associations have been fighting for this overdue adjustment for years. Now we take a look at the Status quo of copyright in Germany – and beyond: Please scroll down for our topics and speakers at the 9th Copyright Conference.
