Abstract

Son yirmi yılda, İnternet pek çok insan için önemli bir haber kaynağı halini almıştır. Yazılı gazetelerden, çevrimiçi dijital medyaya dönüşüm haber toplayıcı internet sitelerini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu değişim basılı yayınların gelirlerinde düşmeye yol açmıştır. Bu yeni durumla baş edebilmek için, 2013 ve 2014 yıllarında Almanya ve İspanya’da yasal değişiklikler yapılmış ve haber yayıncılarına telif hukukunda bağlantılı haklar verilmiştir. Ancak bu düzenlemeler amaçlanan faydaları temin edememiştir. 14 Eylül 2016 tarihinde, Avrupa Komisyonu Dijital Tek Pazar-da Telif Hakları Direktifi Tasarısı’nı sunmuştur. Tasarı metni, Avrupa Birliği Komisyonu tarafından 15 Nisan 2019 tarihinde kabul edilmiş ve AB Resmi Gazetesi’nde 17 Mayıs 2019 tarihinde 2019/790 sayılı Direktif olarak yayınlanmıştır. Direktif, basılı yayın sahiplerine yayınlarının çevrimiçi kullanımlarına ilişkin yeni haklar bahşeden, kamuoyunda ‘bağlantı vergisi’ olarak da bilinen, 15 inci madde düzenlemesini (Tasarı’da 11 inci Madde) içermektedir. Bu hak, bağlantı kurmayı ya da tek tek sözcükleri ve çok kısa özetleri kapsama-maktadır. Buna rağmen, tanımlardaki belirsizlikler veya tanımların hiç yapılmaması nedeniyle uygula-maya ilişkin tartışmalar sona ermemiştir.

RELATED RIGHTS CHARACTERISTICS OF PRESS PUBLICATIONS FOR COPYRIGHT LAW AND THE PROTECTION OF THIS PUBLICATIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EUROPEAN UNION'S DIRECTIVE ON COPYRIGHT IN THE DIGITAL SINGLE MARKET

Abstract

During the past twenty years, the Internet has become an important news source for most people. The transition from printed newspapers to online digital media has revealed news aggregators. This shift has led to decline in revenues for press publications. In order to overcome this new situation, legal changes have been made in Germany and Spain in 2013 and 2014, and news publishers have been granted related rights in copyright law. However these regulations did not provide the intented benefits. On 14 September 2016, the European Commission proposed a Directive on “Copyright in the Digital Single Market”. The Directive was approved by the Council of the European Union on 15 April 2019 and has been published on the Official Journal of the European Union on 17 May 2019 as Directive 2019/790. The Directive contains a provision, Article 15 (Article 11 in Proposal) also known as ‘link tax’ regulation, which features a new right for press publishers in relation to online use of their publications. The right doesn’t cover linking, nor does it extend to individual words or ‘very short’ extracts. However, due to the uncertainties in definitions or the lack of definitions at all, the discussions on the implementation have not ended.
