The Government has considered the provisions on fair remuneration in the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, which is still under negotiation. We support the principle that creators should be fairly rewarded for their work, but also want to ensure that these measures do not undermine incentives to invest in the creation of new content.
