Abstract
Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonization of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society also known as the InfoSoc Directive, entered into force on 22 June 2001.625 In the language of the European Union “information society” means the internet. In order to respond to the new forms of exploitation of the copyright works, the law on copyright and related right needed to be adapted. These economic challenges require a new and flexible Community legal framework, so that the information society could be maintained and developed. However, the objectives of the Copyright Directive resulted in providing measures that concern both the analog and the digital environment, and is further questioned whether the objective of harmonizing the copyright laws has been met. So in this paper the strengths and the weaknesses of certain provisions of the Directive will be briefly summarized.
