Futureofcopyright.com is a platform for news and discussion about the future of copyright in the information society. With this we try to develop a balanced view on all interests involved. On the one hand, we must ensure that the free nature of the Internet is preserved and as many people as possible can use the full potential of the digital domain to share and receive information. On the other hand, we must strive to find a way to do this while granting those who provide information and create content online, a reasonable compensation for it, so that they can continue their creative work. 

This may sound simple, but in practice it is a very difficult issue, no workable solution has been found to this dilemma since the dawn of the Internet.

The balancing act between online freedom and special interests that need protection often involves many stakeholders and ideological viewpoints. It is the ambition of Futureofcopyright.com to contribute to solving this puzzle. We do this by identifying the various positions and underlying interests and to report on the latest developments in both policy, technical, legal and social terms. We hope to contribute to emerging insights leading to a lasting solution acceptable to all parties.

Futureofcopyright.com believes that cooperation between the parties and the willingness to accommodate each other offer the best opportunities to progress. It is important that any problems are clearly described and that the parties that cause them to be addressed. We invite everyone to share your thoughts!
