Abstract

The main focus of this research is to examine whether Article 17 of the European Union’s Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market provides a better solution to online copyright infringement, compared with the ‘safe harbour’ rule in the UK (s97A of Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988). This initially based on whether Article 17 of the European Union’s Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market is a better solution to online copyright infringement than the UK’s safe harbour rule (s97A of Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988) or not.
