European ISPs urge EU to hold rightsholders accountable for overblocking damages
By
Ernesto Van der Sar
Summary
EuroISPA, a European ISP association, has filed a new submission to the European Commission's assessment of the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive, warning that site blocking for piracy is becoming increasingly disproportionate and extreme in some countries. The group argues that rightsholders push for broad blocking orders without facing liability for overblocking, which can damage legitimate services and violate fundamental rights. EuroISPA calls for accountability mechanisms to prevent collateral damage from overly aggressive blocking measures.
