Hey!
Sadly, the FOI request sent to the authorities by Centrum Cyfrowe has been
refused so we don't know the contents of the complaint and that would help
understand what is the issue in detail. Perhaps complaining on the decision
will yield fruit but that will take some time in any case.
Best,
Anna

*Poland files complaint with EU’s top court over copyright rule change*
*May 24, 2019*
WARSAW (Reuters) — Poland has submitted a complaint to the European
Union’s top court against copyright rules adopted by the bloc in April to
protect Europe’s creative industries, which Warsaw says may result in
preventive censorship.
Google will have to pay publishers for news snippets and Facebook filter
out protected content under copyright rules aimed at ensuring fair
compensation for the EU’s $1 trillion creative industries.
Poland has said the overhaul was a step backwards, arguing that the filter
requirement could lay the foundation for censorship.
“This system may result in adopting regulations that are analogous to
preventive censorship, which is forbidden not only in the Polish
constitution but also in the EU treaties,” Deputy Foreign Minister Konrad
Szymanski told public broadcaster TVP Info.
