LEGAL PANEL: Bestseller clause, AI algorithm training and other changes in copyright law
Internet royalties were the most talked-about change in September 2024 in Polish copyright law, but not the only one. The amendment also included a number of lesser-known changes resulting from the implementation of EU directives.
Partners of the LASSOTA KRAWIEC law firm will discuss a number of changes that may have gone unnoticed, and will also discuss their practical impact on the film industry.
The legal panel will cover, among others, the following topics:
- changes to statutory guidelines for determining the remuneration of creators
- change in the wording of the bestseller clause and the possibility of its application to co-creators of a film
- new related law for press publishers
- rules for using copyrighted works to train AI models
- rules for informing about the use of AI tools
