I met a nice man from Luxembourg once. A the Free Culture Research Conference. He worked at the Luxembourg National Library. He lives in legal limbo.
The Luxembourg National Library sees as its mission to preserve and archive old newspapers. They already have a large collection of old newspapers online, dating back to the mid-1800's. You can search for them, read them (they have this superdreary, really old font and the text is luxembourgian so I can mostly appreciate the aesthetics - of having the train times printed at the top right corner!). Train for Brussels departs at 13:10 on Saturday afternoon. Now. They papers are no longer copyrighted. Other papers are. De Spiegel or Le Monde from the 1950's for instance. They're digitizing them as well though, hoping that no one will file a lawsuit (class action? when manymany file at the same time?), and if someone does they're more or less fucked. So they hope no one cares - he says.
They would need extended collective licenses in two countries: France, and Germany. And Luxembourg and Belgium wouldn't wrong either, so that's four. It's a bit inconvenient for them to manage, so this man was saying it would be easier for them if their activities were legalised by a harmonised European legislation. This is, of course, not possible, because the Union doesn't really have competence in that specific area. They can only stress competition and collaboration (under surveillance). And this is not possible anyway, because there are no extended collective licenses in France, Germany, Luxembourg or Belgium.
