At the initiative of President Barroso, the European Commission has today held an orientation debate on content in the digital economy.
Brussels, 5 December 2012
The digital economy has been a major driver of growth in the past two decades, and is expected to grow seven times faster than overall EU GDP in coming years. Online, there are new ways of providing, creating and distributing content, and new ways to generate value. This represents a challenge and an opportunity for all the creative industries, authors and artists and other actors in the digital economy.

There is a joke circulating amongst librarians about orphan works which say that "the best way to have orphans is to kill the parents".
The purpose of the EU funded project ARROW is to save these parents! The project is approaching to its end with the Feasibility Study on the integration of visual material due on 30 September.
During this project, CEPIC has worked on issues such as:
- Unique common identifier for images
- Use of visual technologies for national libraries
- Orphan works and image identification
A number of reports have been produced:
- Orphan Works Survey in Historical Archives (Sylvie Fodor/ Angela Murphy)
- Review of Existing Unique Persistent Identifiers (Angela Murphy)

BySylvie FodorOn 4 July 2012, 478 members of the European Parliament gave a heavy blow to the creative industries in Europe.
These deputies voted against a treaty meant to coordinate IPR enforcement around the world. Sadly, they refused to wait for the decision of the European Court of Justice and voted first.

Will ACTA die before it was even born? Here is the latest up-date and why CEPIC supports a world-wide famous and very much publicized "secret treaty".
The fight against IPR infringements at global level is a key priority for CEPIC. The problems which ACTA seeks to address are real and growing. IPR infringements have increased substantially and continue to do so, which has negative consequences ranging from economic and job losses to health and safety dangers.

BySylvie FodorCrucial developments are taking place in Europe and around the world. A look back at 2011 will help us to look foward in 2012.
The Internet is a great tool. It has however become increasingly difficult for creators to live from their creation in the Digital Age. This is particularly true for photographers. Boosted by new technologies, Microstock pursues its growth while traditional agents are merging, selling, closing. Legislation is adapting at high speed too. A number of legislative proposals at European and national level will affect the framework in which business is done: if not well-framed, they have the potential of further restricting the revenues of libraries and of their photographers.
