How can public-interest actors exercise the rights granted to them by copyright exceptions when legal uncertainty makes relying on them increasingly difficult?
To answer this, seemingly simple, question, COMMUNIA brought together policymakers, researchers, Public AI developers and cultural heritage professionals in Brussels for the event Copyright Liability and the Knowledge Ecosystem.

The event opened with an update on the European Commission’s ongoing work on copyright from Lars Frietman (DG CONNECT, European Commission), including the DSM Directive survey and the targeted initiative for a better copyright for European creativity and innovation.
Following the Commission’s remarks, the event set the stage for the launch of a new IViR research publication examining legal uncertainty and risk mitigation in the European copyright framework and a discussion of the research findings.
The day concluded with reflections from MEP Sergey Lagodinsky on the broader societal implications of AI, the need for a measured approach to future regulation, and the importance of supporting public interest institutions and Europe’s digital sovereignty objectives.
