European creative and cultural organisations sent a letter to the European Parliament asking it to adopt the copyright directive. The Italian associations that have signed the appeal include SIAE (Italian Authors and Publishers’ Collecting Society), AIE (Italian Book Publishers’ Association), FIEG (Italian Federation of Newspaper and Periodical Publishers) and PMI (Italian Independent Music Producers).
“We, the undersigned organisations, representing authors, composers, writers, journalists, performers and others working in all artistic fields, news agencies, book, press, scientific and music publishers, audiovisual and independent music producers call on the European Parliament to adopt the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. This Directive has been long sought to create a much-needed level playing field for all actors of the creative sector in the European Digital Single Market, whilst giving citizens better access to a wider array of content. This is an historic opportunity. We need an internet that is fair and sustainable for all. This is why we urge policymakers to adopt the Directive quickly, as
agreed in trilogue negotiations.”
