STA debate: Different views on EU copyright directive

Ljubljana, 31 August - The STA hosted on Friday a round-table debate on the controversial EU's copyright directive which many believe could limit freedom of speech on the internet, with rapporteur MEP Axel Voss trying to present its benefits and representatives of Slovenian authors saying it was only the first step towards better protection of authors.
