Futureofcopyright.com is a platform for news and discussion about the future of copyright in the information society. We attempt to provide a balanced view on all interests involved. On the one hand, we must ensure that the free nature of the Internet is preserved, enabling as many people as possible to 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 achieve this while simultaneously 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, a fact demonstrated by the absence of a workable solution 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 strive to achieve this by identifying the various positions and underlying interests and to report on the latest developments in policy, technical, legal and social terms. We hope to contribute to emerging insights that could potentially lead 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 for progress. It is important that any problems are clearly described and that the parties responsible for causing them are addressed. We invite everyone to share their thoughts!
