DR. MICHAL MARKIEWICZ FOR THE POLISH PRESS AGENCY – ABOUT THE COPYRIGHT LAW AMENDMENT: A NEEDED SOLUTION FOR ALL CREATORS

Recently, for the Polish Press Agency, Dr. Michal Markiewicz spoke with editor Anna Kruszyńska on the subject of amendments to copyright law. The topic of creators’ salaries was discussed, including: the problem of the risk of losing a large part of the remuneration collected from streaming platforms due to the necessity of paying them to foreign creators, the erroneous drafting of the provision on artistic performances, which does not indicate from which entity “additional” remuneration should be collected, the lack of implementation of Article 18 of the DSM Directive with respect to most creators, the new law of press publishers, and the surprising discrepancies in national implementations concerning the regulation of what part of the publisher’s remuneration should go to creators.
