EU Court of Justice: Censorship in Name of Copyright Violates Fundamental Rights
Paris,
November 24th, 2011 — The European Court of Justice just rendered a
historic decision in the Scarlet Extended case, which is crucial for the
future of rights and freedoms on the Internet. The Court ruled that
forcing Internet service providers to monitor and censor their users'
communications violated EU law, and in particular the right to freedom
of communication. At a time of all-out offensive in the war against
culture sharing online, this decision suggests that censorship measures
requested by the entertainment industry are disproportionate means to
enforce an outdated copyright regime. Policy-makers across Europe must
take this decision into account by refusing new repressive schemes
