Denmark stands up for press publishers in case C-663/24

The Danish government delivered a clear statement when the Court of Justice of the European Union heard case C-663/24 July 6-7.

The purpose of the DSM Directive’s press publishers rights is to promote a free and pluralistic press and safeguard citizens’ access to information by ensuring that global commercial platforms, whose business models and revenue streams rely on user uploads of protected content, are appropriately held accountable for the commercial exploitation of that content. It should be simple.

The Danish government mentions LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube, among others, in this context.

Thank you for standing up for fairness, accountability, the public interest and the rule of law.
