Copyright & IP

Creativity Works! advocates for:

  • Upholding the existing copyright legislative framework which is essential for nurturing creativity and attracting investments, supporting the livelihoods of creators, businesses, and emerging talent.
  • Working together to counter piracy and enhance responsible behaviour within the online world.

Protecting Copyright & IP, protecting culture.

We firmly believe that IP protection is crucial to the continued growth and sustainability of the cultural and creative sectors in all areas of life – offline and online, including in metaverses and other emerging virtual environments.

Accordingly, we advocate for strong IP rights in all situations to safeguard the creative works of individuals and businesses, thereby promoting creativity, encouraging investment, and ensuring European artistic and cultural productions are duly valued and promoted.

Our work in this space entails protecting IP rights, combating piracy, and enforcing copyright laws both online and offline.

Copyright as the lifeblood of the cultural and creative sectors.

Effective copyright enforcement is essential to nurture creativity and support the livelihoods of creators, businesses, and emerging talent. Our aim is to foster a sustainable, thriving creative ecosystem that rewards originality while enabling continued innovation and artistic expression.

To this end, it is crucial that Europe ensures that all instruments on copyright protection and enforcement which were hard fought for in the past by our democratic institutions, are effectively enforced at Member State level to create tangible results.
