The EC has published a 22 page “synthesis” of the 380 comments it received on the Report on the Application of Directive 2004/48/EC on the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. Roughly half of the comments came from consumers or individuals, and roughly a quarter of the comments came from rightholders. Regarding IP in the digital environment, rightholders tended to criticize the current regime “especially in terms of how it frames the role of intermediaries as well as its perceived failure to stem the increase in online copyright infringements,” while ISPs and individual citizens argued against changing the current directive, citing factors such as a lack of data to support a change, and the need to safeguard freedom of speech.
