The Italian implementation of the Copyright Directive

The Copyright Directive has combined the protection of copyright with the promotion of pluralism, cultural diversity and the development of European cultural heritage through a complex system of exceptions and limitations to copyright. This is inherent to the digital use for educational, scientific and conservation of cultural heritage purposes.
The book focuses on the European and national implementation regulations, providing for a reading that goes beyond the ‘protectionist’ vision that often characterizes the national regulatory interventions on the subject. This reading promotes a wider and more participatory diffusion of culture, which should be the supreme goal of copyright.
