THERE ARE NO GROUNDS FOR NOT PAYING FOR THE USE OF WORKS ON THE INTERNET AND STREAMING – DR. MICHAŁ MARKIEWICZ FOR THE POLISH PRESS AGENCY

Today, the Polish Press Agency website published a statement by Dr. Michał Markiewicz on the currently hot topic of royalties on the online streaming exploitation of certain works. First of all, he points out what the mechanism of additional remuneration, about which there is a dispute, is and how this system would work if applied to the automotive industry. Why should only creators of audiovisual works and performers of musical and spoken-word works be entitled to double remuneration for streaming? How does this amendment relate to the DSM Directive, which it supposedly implements? How could the proportional and appropriate remuneration of creators, including audiovisual works, be regulated differently? Thanks for the invitation and the interview to editor Anna Kruszyńska.
