Place: Court of Milan - Aula Magna Emilio Alessandrini e Guido Galli
Organization: Francesca Fiecconi, Italian Judges' Permanent Training Program District of Milan

Presentation
The introduction of communications via Internet and the wide use of digital contents have
dramatically demonstrated that most of the national copyright laws need to be re-evaluated and that the
borders between communication, distribution and reproduction rights should be reviewed taking into
consideration needs and structure of digital economy. It is worth remembering that the European
Commission has recently published its Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe and that the reform of
copyright law plays an important role in achieving the goals indicated by President Jean-Claude Juncker.
UE legislative proposals for a reform of the copyright regime are expected at the end of 2015 and
early 2016. This makes the Congress a strategic occasion for information and discussion, a thinking arena,
with the purpose of comparing national approaches on copyright issues, looking to a European view.
