Question

Does the EU have fair use?

Answer 1

Every country leaves some room in its copyright laws to protect free expression and allow for the everyday uses of copyrighted works that creators and consumers need. The European Union, for example, provides an exhaustive list of copyright infringement exceptions in its 2001 Copyright Directive.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The EU copyright framework's approach to permitted exceptions stands in contrast to the US Fair Use doctrine by offering an exhaustive list of specific uses. The result is that it is possible for certain copyright exceptions to be available in only some member states throughout the EU.
