“…To maximally eliminate the legal risk from the failure of monitoring content, platforms may block any content potentially infringing copyright which may, on the contrary, fall within the scope of copyright exceptions and limitations and thus should be legitimately communicated. 26 Also, the public can find it much pricier to access information as platforms pass the costs of monitoring investment onto consumers to lower their operational costs.…”

“…It is legally complicated, where deciding whether a particular work infringes copyright (and thus should be filtered) can involve tricky and technical adjudication proceedings which platforms are not best placed to decide via monitoring and filtering technologies. 133 Technology is not capable of figuring out fair use or other copyright exceptions, whose lawfulness should be subject to court decisions.…”

To be, or not to be? Copyright general monitoring dilemma of online hosting audio‐visual platforms in China

In China, a hosting audio‐visual platform does not bear a copyright general monitoring obligation. It bears a public law obligation to monitor content proactively and constantly to safeguard the governance objective of cybersecurity. Little literature has discovered that Chinese case law has shown a risk that this public law obligation can impose an actual copyright general monitoring obligation upon platforms. The crux lies in that the public law obligation weakens the rationale of the copyright no monitoring obligation that a platform cannot access and assess each piece of work proactively. Copyright general monitoring seems to be workable as a platform is given such an opportunity to access and evaluate each content upon the fulfillment of the public law obligation. It, however, is unjustifiable to create this copyright law obligation by transferring it from the public law obligation, as copyright monitoring is much more complicated and costly within China's online environment. Access to content does not necessarily indicate a platform's ability to figure out content's copyright authorization status. China should retain adopting the no copyright general monitoring obligation even considering that the public law obligation has been contextually emphasized as a mandatory obligation to platforms.

“…Es una práctica censurable, porque deja en manos de estos últimos decidir como debe ser el comportamiento de los usuarios en internet. 152 Por eso es un paso en la buena dirección que, desde el año 2015, el Reglamento 2015/2120, por el que se establecen medidas en relación con el acceso a una internet abierta, no permita la adaptación de medidas restrictivas del tráfico si no existe fundamento jurídico para ello. 153 50.…”

Resumen: Transcurridos 20 años desde la promulgación de la Directiva 2000/31, de 8 de junio de 2000, sobre comercio electrónico (DCE), parece llegado el momento de adaptar sus exenciones de responsabilidad a los nuevos modelos de negocio en internet. Todo indica que la nueva DCE no tendrá ya por finalidad preservar los puertos seguros con que ahora cuentan los prestadores de servicios de intermediación (arts. 12-14 DCE), sino prevenir que las nuevas estructuras digitales (plataformas) promuevan y difundan actividades ilícitas. En definitiva, se prevé un incremento de sus deberes de diligencia, con el riesgo de censura provocado por un exceso de celo en la búsqueda de ilegalidades y el correspondiente perjuicio para la libertad de empresa. La Directiva 2019/790, de 17 de abril de 2019, sobre los derechos de autor y derechos afines en el mercado único digital es solo un buen exponente de los cambios que ya se han producido.Palabras clave: intermediarios, plataformas, alojamiento, acceso, deber de diligencia, notificación y retirada.Abstract: Twenty years after the enactment of Directive 2000/31 of 8 June 2000, on electronic commerce (ECD), it seems that the time has come to adapt its safe harbours regulatory framework to the new internet business models. All the signs are that the purpose of the new ECD will no longer be to preserve the safe harbours now available to providers of intermediation services (arts. 12-14 ECD), but to prevent new digital structures (platforms) from promoting and disseminating illicit activities. In short, it is foreseen an increase in their duties of diligence, with the risk of censorship caused by an excess of zeal in the search for illegalities and the corresponding damage to the freedom of enterprise. Directive 2019/790 of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market is just a good example of the changes that have already taken place.Keywords: intermediaries, platforms, hosting, access, duty of care, notice and take down
