Through a comparative perspective, the Report examines the scope of protection of audiovisual sports content in the national framework of the 27 EU member states and the UK. In particular, the Report relies on an extensive review of the EU law, Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) decisions and case law concerning remedies against online piracy, starting from the results of a questionnaire submitted to international experts from relevant institutions, universities and law firms. By virtue of the 27 questionnaires, completed one per country, the Report aims at identifying the national framework on copyright applicable to audiovisual sports events and the transposition of EU regulations and directives, but especially the availability and functioning of notice and take-down procedures, removal and blocking injunctions, dynamic and live blocking injunctions, and de-indexing injunctions in relation to the sports event. Moreover, the existence of national bodies and co-regulatory initiatives to combat online piracy are taken into account in the analysis, as well as the relevant case law at the EU and national level related to the infringement of audiovisual sports content and the reports and studies concerning piracy of audiovisual sports content.

Abstract
Through a comparative perspective, the Report examines the scope of protection of audiovisual sports content in the national framework of the 27 EU member states and the UK. In particular, the Report relies on an extensive review of the EU law, Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) decisions and case law concerning remedies against online piracy, starting from the results of a questionnaire submitted to international experts from relevant institutions, universities and law firms. By virtue of the 27 questionnaires, completed one per country, the Report aims at identifying the national framework on copyright applicable to audiovisual sports events and the transposition of EU regulations and directives, but especially the availability and functioning of notice and take-down procedures, removal and blocking injunctions, dynamic and live blocking injunctions, and de-indexing injunctions in relation to the sports event. Moreover, the existence of national bodies and co-regulatory initiatives to combat online piracy are taken into account in the analysis, as well as the relevant case law at the EU and national level related to the infringement of audiovisual sports content and the reports and studies concerning piracy of audiovisual sports content.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
