Exceptions, limitations and collective management of rights as vehicles for access to information

Author

Summary, in English

Copyright law reflects a balance between the competing interests of protection and access. It is often held that this balance has been disturbed by recent technological and related legal developments. This article describes and compares two vehicles to enhance access to information in the online environment, while also taking into account the interest of protection: (i) the introduction of (broader) exceptions and limitations, and (ii) the encouragement of collective rights management.
