[English version below] Certain-e-s d'entre vous ont déjà reçu, et célébré comme de juste, la titanesque nouvelle de la semaine : Le 16 novembre 2016, la Cour de Justice de l'Union européenne a tranché contre ReLIRE, et en faveur des droits des auteurs ! Félicitations aux artistes représentés, et à leur avocat, Me Franck Macrez, pour cette immense victoire contre l'Etat français. Lien vers le communiqué de presse de la CJUE : http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2016-11/cp160126fr.pdf ------ Great news: the Court of Justice of the European Union just ruled against ReLIRE (France's mass digitization program for out-of-print books), in favor of the authors' rights trampled by this law. The press release for this judgment states that "National legislation must guarantee the protection accorded to authors by the directive and ensure, in particular, that they are actually informed of the envisaged digital exploitation of their work, while being able to put an end to it without formalities". This is a huge win for writers and their rights! Congrats to the artists who brought this outrageous matter before Justice, and to their lawyer, Me Franck Macrez.
