2 JUN 2022 · Catherine Stihler OBE was appointed CEO of Creative Commons, in August 2020, a non-profit organisation that helps overcome legal obstacles to advance better sharing of knowledge and creativity to address the world’s pressing challenges. She has been an international champion for openness as a legislator and practitioner for over 20 years. She was a member of the European Parliament for Scotland representing the Labour Party. At the European Parliament, she became one of Scotland’s longest-serving and most respected legislators. Prior to joining Creative Commons, she served as the CEO of the Open Knowledge Foundation. Catherine reflects on this trajectory that led her to Creative Commons and the lessons learned from the EU Copyright Directive adoption. She talks about the growing importance of Creative Commons licences and the importance of various ongoing legislative developments (e.g. AI, disinformation). She highlights the value of Creative Commons for creativity and knowledge sharing. Finally, throughout the episode she emphasises the need for the community, from libraries to civil society organisations, that are seeking a progressive copyright reform to unite and stand together in order to ensure their voice is heard by policymakers.

The opposition was strong, and as a result, we must examine ourselves and consider how we might work more closely together as an open movement, with common goals that we can all agree on when confronted with such strong resistance. - Catherine
We see the value through openly sharing content works in terms of new knowledge being built on and that knowledge is built on another knowledge and creativity is built on other creativity. - Catherine

Marc Rees: À la Française, de l'Hadopi par la copie privée, jusqu'aux algorithmes de l’Article 17
28 MAY 2022 · Marc Rees est journaliste et rédacteur en chef de Next INpact, le site français traitant de tout ce qui est numérique, y compris les commentaires sur les questions actuelles de droit d'auteur. Il se spécialise en droit des nouvelles technologies, dont communication, LCEN, surveillance, données personnelles, et droit d’auteur. Marc est connu comme l’un des meilleurs commentateurs du droit d'auteur, dans le monde francophone. Sur notre podcast, il explique la stratégie de la France de mettre les droits d'auteur au premier plan. Il couvre le rôle de la Présidence Français dans les négociations du Digital Service Act (DSA). Marc réfléchit sur la création de l’Hadopi. Il parle passionnément à propos de la redevance copie privée et les aberrations qu'elle crée. Finalement, Marc souligne l'importance des utilisateurs dans les débats numériques et discute la responsabilité des intermédiaires techniques.
Points importants
Il y a aujourd'hui 22 sociétés d'auteurs qui viennent protéger des intérêts catégoriels des producteurs, des auteurs, etc.
L’industrie et les politiques oublient souvent que derrière les écrans, il y a des utilisateurs qui ont des besoins, des envies et qui s'adaptent aux évolutions de la société, aux évolutions des pratiques numériques.
Dans les années 2000, la logique des autorités et des industries françaises, c'était de tout conserver, de tout interdire et de sanctionner le plus durement possible toute pratique qui viendrait empiéter leurs intérêts. Mais aujourd'hui, on voit que tout a changé.
Citation à retenir
“Je pense que par principe de spécialisation, est ce qu'il n'est pas plus opportun de spécialiser des autorités administratives pour faire en sorte que des mesures les plus adéquates soient posées et surtout aussi pour éviter les sphères d'influence avec le politique, pour les rendre beaucoup plus difficile?” - Marc
