For those who couldn't join us, the full recording of the event is available here: We invite you to an online salon on the alarming development of the hollowing of the Public Domain through cultural heritage laws with a focus on Italy. Register here and join us on Tuesday, June 18th, 15:00-16:00 CEST: https://communia-association.org/event/communia-salon-the-hollowing-of-the-public-domain/ Giulia Dore (University of Trento) & Giulia Priora (NOVA School of Law in Lisbon) will present their independent expert opinion which you can already read on our website: https://communia-association.org/publication/the-eu-imperative-to-a-free-public-domain-the-case-of-italian-cultural-heritage/ It has become increasingly common for publishers to limit access to #eBooks by imposing highly restrictive licensing conditions, demanding excessive prices, or simply denying licenses. This needs to stop. Join us in two weeks for our salon! Register here: https://communia-association.org/2024/05/06/communia-salon-the-right-to-e-lend/ The current legal framework doesn’t enable libraries to play their crucial role in ensuring access to knowledge & culture in the digital environment. Join us on wed 29/05 from 15-16h for our salon on e-lending to learn what needs to be done!
