Talk:Directive 2011/77/EU

Notability
I think this is notable, first, because it is a unique example of copyright being extended on music recordings after the big file-sharing episodes of the 2000s. Second, it has been in the news in multiple places, and if it passes or it fails to pass, it will be interesting historically. Other proposed legislation on copyright has wikipedia pages such as Public Domain Enhancement Act. I do think that it might need a better name. Jrincayc (talk) 16:12, 31 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, if you still think it needs to be deleted, please either move the text of the article to Copyright law of the European Union or give me a chance to do so. Thanks. Jrincayc (talk) 16:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Status of European Union recording copyright extension?
I have been trying to find out the current status of the European Union 95 year recording copyright extension proposal. The last I heard, it was passed by the European parliament on 23 April 2009. However, the law still seems to be 50 years (Article 3 in http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32006L0116:EN:NOT ). Does anyone know if it is still likely to become a law?

 * This covers it pretty well. The proposal was defeated in April 2009, but an extension to 70 years was approved.  States apparently have two years to implement the law. Warofdreams talk 17:53, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That news article only mentions that it passed Parliament, but not that it has passed the European Council. Did it get passed that? Basically this still lists it as proposed and the law still seems to be 50 years  Jrincayc (talk) 04:09, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Various other articles on this topic state or imply that this proposal has to be ratified and implemented by all EU Members States unanimously, on or by 1st November 2013. As that is today's date, can anyone confirm that this unanimous ratification has indeed taken place and that this proposal has now become EU law? In addition, can it be confirmed that sound recordings made and / or released prior to 31 December 1962 remain unaffected by this new proposal, as it is not being made retrospective? In other words, for such pre-1962 recordings, the previous 50-year copyright expiry law still applies and they continue to remain in the public domain.
