Introduction
This course will introduce the fundamental principles
of copyright law in the United States and the European
Union as well as their application in practice
to the film industry. Comparisons in statutory approaches
and leading case law will be made covering
such core issues as originality, fixation, the idea/
expression dichotomy, rights and their limitations,
ownership and transfer as well as enforcement, in
particular on the internet. The fundamental principle
of “fair use” in U.S. copyright law will also be examined
in some detail and contrasted with the concepts
of fair dealing and catalogue exceptions in Europe.
A high-level comparative overview of the different
legal approaches in the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act and the relevant EU Directives to address online
piracy problems will also be covered . Time will also
be devoted as to how these various copyright issues
operate in practice with respect to film production
and distribution. This will include a discussion about
how studios have adapted to consumer and fan uses
of their content in the digital environment.
Objectives
This course aims to provide a basic understanding of
the framework and key principles of U.S. and EU
copyright law and their significant differences. It
also seeks to give participants very practical and real
examples of how these principles operate and apply to
the film industry.

Introduction
This course aims at familiarising the participants with
the European public sphere, by focusing on both its
institutional settings and the decision-making process
leading to the adoption of European legislation, such
as regulations, directives and decisions.
This will be a dynamic and interactive one-day
training course introducing to the main legal lobbying
techniques and strategies to be used both at
the EU and national level. After introducing the
main features of the EU decision-making process, by
focusing on the little-known ‘comitology procedures’
(responsible for the adoption of more than 2000
EU legal acts per year), it will focus on some of the
emerging analytical tools systematically used in both
national and EU policy-making, such as regulatory
impact assessment and its main components (problem
definition, policy options, risk assessment and
cost-effectiveness studies).
Course Content
- - Master the European decision-making process and
the interface between it and the national member
states’ political systems
- - Understand how and by whom European legislation
is made in Europe
- - Analyse and discuss contemporary issues of EU law
and policy, such as impact assessment, new comitology
and cost-benefit analysis.
Target audience
Lawyers and other non-legal professionals who need a
sound introduction to lobbying techniques at the EU
and national level.
