Abstract

The study examines the changing copyright liability regime for intermediary service providers. It analyses the rules introduced by the CDSM Directive for content sharing platform providers. It then situates these rules within the framework of the Digital Services Act and reviews the changes in the liability for copyright infringement for other intermediary service providers. It will analyse in detail the extent to which the DSA complements the new liability regime set out in the CDSM Directive.
