“As the world goes digital, we also have to empower our artists & creators and protect their works. Artists and creators are our crown jewels. The creation of content is not a hobby. It is a profession. And it is part of our European culture.
I want journalists, publishers & authors to be paid fairly for their work. The overhaul of Europe’s copyright rules we are proposing today does exactly that.”
– Jean-Claude Juncker
