This proposal is included in Article 13and accompanying Recitals of the European Commission’s Draft Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market of September 14, 2016, which forms an important part of the ongoing EU copyright reform. This article highlights the shortcomings of this proposed reform, which may fall short in terms of clarity, consistency with the EU acquis, appropriacy and proportionality. In doing so, the article discusses recent CJEU case law, such as GSMedia, Ziggo and Filmspeler, which all struggle with the notion of communication to the public in the digital environment. The case law highlights systemic inconsistencies between the traditional knowledge-and-take-down,negligence-based intermediary liability system and the introduction of filtering and monitoring obligations. The article examines the appropriacy of filtering and monitoring measures within a fundamental rights perspective by considering proportionality between property rights’ enforcement and competing fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression, and freedom of business and privacy. The critical review of the proposed reform serves as an opportunity to briefly advance an alternative proposal seeking a more pragmatic engagement with technological change through an arrangement enforcing a liability rule or an apportionment of profits and producing value for creators out of platform economy’s virality, while limiting negative externalities on users’ rights. 000041937 525__ $$aPublished in : Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law, vol. 36, no. 2 000041937 650_0 $$aInformation Society Service Providers 000041937 650_0 $$aInternet network 000041937 650_0 $$aOnline intermediaries 000041937 650_0 $$aEU copyright reform 000041937 85641 $$uhttp://www.cardozoaelj.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FROSIO_ARTICLE.pdf$$yView this resource 000041937 904__ $$aJournal article 000041937 980__ $$aBIB
