Fairness, consumer welfare and efficiency in digital copyright regulation: evidence from private ordering mechanisms under DSA and CDSM

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Digital Services Act ("DSA") and the new wave of European digital regulation fundamentally reshapes the legal framework applicable to digital intermediaries. This submission examines the evolving legal-economic equilibrium of copyright regulation on online platforms in the wake of the DSA and Article 17 of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market ("CDSM"). It explores how the principles of fairness, consumer welfare, and efficiency interact as regulatory standards. The analysis conceptualizes these principles as co-dependent forces shaped by regulatory modalities and investigates how recent legal obligations have reshaped the private ordering practices of online platforms. Through a content analysis of terms and conditions from selected user-generated content platforms, the submission assesses the degree to which platforms have incorporated DSA and CDSM requirements into their contractual frameworks. The findings suggest limited progress. While some platforms demonstrate partial compliance and improved transparency, others maintain static, pre-DSA structures. This uneven implementation raises critical questions about the effectiveness of using contractual terms as a regulatory tool and underscores the need for meaningful enforcement to achieve the DSA's goals.
