The targeted consultation focuses specifically on:

• The use of copyright-protected content in artificial intelligence
• The fight against online piracy of content like live events
• The application of the single equitable remuneration right of music performers and producers
• Copyright of scientific research

While the EU already benefits from a robust copyright framework, emerging challenges and market developments raise the question of whether the framework should be reinforced through potential additional measures.

The consultation builds on feedback received in the context of the Call for evidence conducted earlier this year, and evidence gathered in previous relevant studies and assessments.

Feedback is invited from a range of stakeholders, including copyright and related rights holders, generative AI providers and other relevant actors in the AI value chain, intermediaries, collective management organisations, sports and other live events organisers, research organisations, national authorities, consumer organisations, and non-governmental organisations.

The consultation remains open until 10 November 2026, following an extension of the original deadline of 3 November 2026.
