EU policymakers are in the midst of refining a proposal for copyright filters on uploaded content, which has stirred concerns among developers about efficacy, free speech, and privacy. The current debate focuses on the exclusion of non-profit open source software platforms from these requirements, yet many such platforms, like GitHub, are for-profit and therefore not exempt. DIGITALEUROPE has criticized the broad scope of Article 13, which does not adequately address the needs of open source repositories. The proposal also includes Article 11, introducing a new right for press publishers that could complicate the sharing of text snippets online, and Article 3, which allows text and data mining for research organizations on a non-profit basis only, potentially hindering AI development in the EU. These elements of the Copyright Directive, particularly concerning upload filters, ancillary copyright, and text and data mining, remain contentious and impactful for developers. Discussions are ongoing, with the EU Council and Parliament seeking to finalize a version of the proposal, while developers are urged to engage with policymakers to protect software development in the region.
