EC strategy for Creative Content Online

In 2008, the European Commission adopted a policy paper on creative content online - building on a 2006 consultation process and launching further measures to support the cross-border delivery of online content. The Communication launched the 2008 consultation process and identified 4 main areas requiring EU action: availability of creative content; multi-territory licensing of creative content; digital rights management systems (DRMs); and piracy / unauthorised file-sharing. The Communication also proposed a stakeholder discussion group - the "Content online platform" – to look at forthcoming challenges. The final report on the Content Online Platform has been published in May 2009.
