Summary: The subject of this article is to evaluate current European legislative development in the field of copyright. The attention is focused on most important parts of the Copyright Directive proposal, i.e. exceptions and limitations, out-of-commerce regime, extended collective licenses, new exclusive publisher’s right, and responsibility of online platforms. In the first part of the article, three exceptions and limitations are presented, however only the new exception for text and data mining is addressed in more detail. Regarding the out-of-commerce regime, the focus is mainly on the comparison of the proposed European regulation and the current Slovak regulation, which is already above-standard. The same applies to collective licensing with an extended effect. The Slovak legislation has already been criticized in the past in this regard, although the proposed regulation partially addresses the criticized problems. Next part of this paper is dedicated to the critics of the new exclusive publishers’ right proposal (Article 11) and the new regulation of online platforms responsibility according to Article 13 of the proposal. Although these platforms do not themselves use protected content, they can often generate big value, too. Currently the authors and other right holders may apply a notice-and-take down to prevent the use being made. However, the proposal introduces new obligation of platforms to contractually negotiate the rights of their holders and alternative duty to prevent the use of works and other subject matters on platforms. The Article in general draws attention to quality of European legislative process and the overall change in copyright concept as we know today.
