Fair Use in Europe.

The author looks at copyright law in the European Union and how it addresses technological innovations. He states the dispute over copyright has increased due to a gap between the laws and social norms influenced by technology. In addition, he cites the long lawmaking process and lack of flexibility in copyright laws in EU member states as adding to the debate. EU policies towards fair use and search engines, as well as user-generated content, are also examined and compared to similar laws in the United States.
