Abstract

No presente artigo, após uma breve síntese do conteúdo da Proposta da Comissão Europeia para alteração da Directiva “Televisão sem Fronteiras”, o autor apresenta uma análise crítica ao nível das motivações, das justificações e dos resultados previstos. Nessa análise, o autor salienta as lacunas e insuficiências jurídicas da proposta, com destaque para a manutenção de redacção pouco clara e soluções pouco ambiciosas no que respeita à harmonização das legislações nacionais, assim como a introdução de desequílibrios entre os interesses em causa. European Commission's Proposal to the Amendment of the Directive “Television Without Frontiers" After a brief summary of the content of the Proposal of the European Commission to the Amendment of the Directive “Television Without Frontiers", the author presents a critical analysis on the motivations, justifications and achievements of such Proposal. In this analysis the author stresses the gaps and insufficiencies of the proposal by highlighting the unclear drafting and the non-ambitious solutions with regards to the harmonisation of all national legislations, and also the introduction of an unbalance of interests.

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants. Specifically participating libraries may: • Collect and preserve currently accessible materials; • Use material consistent with original license terms; • Provide copies to other LOCKSS appliances for purposes of audit and repair. Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
