The EU imperative to a free public domain: The case of Italian cultural heritage

“The Italian transposition of Article 14 CDSM Directive and the Italian Courts’ rulings reveal an attempt to impose new forms of exclusivity on cultural heritage that may go even further than copyright restrictions, thus becoming what scholars describe as ‘pseudo’ or ‘surrogate’ copyright.

This results in violating the principle of the numerus clausus of intellectual property rights and a significant distortion in the implementation of EU law in the country.”
