Copyright reform: The Bulgarian Presidency strikes back - EDRi: "The Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, on the other hand, is more straightforward. It proposes to target online platforms that would have to comply with the new obligations by regrouping them under a new notion of “online content sharing service” (OCSS). These would be defined as companies whose profits rely on the organisation and presentation of user-uploaded content that is copyright protected. These OCSS would then be liable under Article 13.
Alternatively, the Bulgarian Presidency proposes to create new liability rules only for “service providers that communicate to the public”.
In practice, OCSS would benefit from this “targeted limitation of liability” if and only if they do not “take effective measures to prevent the availability on its services of these unauthorised works” or if they do not “act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the specific unauthorised work [and] prevent its future availability”.
