VG Bild-Kunst, the German visual CMO, representing more the 75.000 direct members and more than 280.000 international visual artists, welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the discussions about a functioning legal framework in the age of digital mass uses. Much has been already achieved with the CDSM Directive and its collective licensing solutions for CHI and teaching.

Everything on this page comes from VG Bild-Kunst’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.
Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
