Meta’s EU Copyright Challenge Hits Legal Snag in Italian Dispute

BTCCSquare news:
Meta Platforms faces a pivotal legal obstacle in Italy as Europe's top court weighs whether national copyright fee demands conflict with EU-wide publisher rights. Advocate General Maciej Szpunar's opinion suggests the EU directive aims not merely to grant veto power over unpaid content use, but to establish equitable revenue-sharing frameworks.
The case stems from AGCOM's push to compel Meta to pay Italian publishers for news snippets. Szpunar emphasized the directive's democratic imperative: "Strengthening the economic viability of the press, a key pillar of democracy." His analysis indicates platforms may need to redesign content monetization models to accommodate fair publisher compensation.
