A key clause in EU copyright rules complies with the bloc's regulations, an adviser to Europe's top court said on Thursday, dealing a blow to Poland which had brought the legal challenge.
A central provision, Article 17, would force sharing platforms such as YouTube and Instagram to filter copyrighted content. It is backed by the creative industry, pitting artists and news publishers against tech companies, internet activists and consumer groups.
CJEU Advocate General Henrik Saugmandsgaard Øe rejected Poland's arguments and said the Article is compatible with the freedom of expression and information guaranteed in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. He said regulators had provided safeguards to minimise the risk that online platforms may over-block lawful information with their filters.
