EMMA and ENPA condemn Google’s announcement on French publishers’ right implementation

EMMA and ENPA strongly condemn Google’s announcement yesterday with the unilateral decision to disrespect European legislation and future French legislation by not paying for news snippets in France. Before its entry into force in October, Google is already taking advantage of its unprecedented market power to put pressure on publishers in order for them to renounce their legal rights.

#Yes2copyright News Release

Today, more than 270 organisations from the entire cultural sector have come together to offer clear and strong support to the Copyright Directive. Representing creators, performers, publishers, producers, news agencies, cultural workers, conservatoires, choirs, grass-roots cultural organisations, and many more, they are calling on the European Parliament to adopt the Copyright Directive at the plenary vote during the week of March 25. The Copyright Directive will make the European Digital Single Market fairer, bigger and more inclusive.
