The book delves into the German Act on Copyright Content Sharing Service Providers, a comprehensive response to the EU's Art. 17 Directive. It explores the unique approach taken by German lawmakers, opting for a standalone act rather than a simple integration into existing copyright law. Key provisions are examined, addressing various aspects of copyright in the digital age, including the implications for content sharing platforms and the balance between protecting creators' rights and promoting innovation.
The Data Governance Act (DGA) establishes a new legal framework for the use and sharing of data across all sectors – from industrial to mobility and health data as well as from private to public sector data. The Act aims at strengthening trust in different actors and applies to both personal and non-personal data. The Article-by-Article Commentary This book combines systematic explanatory depth with the necessary practical relevance. The mechanisms, regulations, and instruments introduced by the DGA are explained in a comprehensible manner. In addition, the interaction between the DGA, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the future Data Act is explained in detail, enabling data intermediaries, data altruistic organisations, and public bodies to offer their services in compliance with the legal requirements. The book also anticipates potential legal uncertainties and offers interpretive guidance.
