[ecrea] European Media Policy 3-2008

Welcome to European Media Policy, a newsletter 
from NORDICOM providing an up-date on policy 
developments at the European level.

The No. 3, 2008 issue gives an overview of some main media events.

* In 2008 much discussion has focused on 
copyright-related issues, such as illegal 
downloading and how to fight piracy, often 
stirring calls for protection of privacy and 
civil liberties. How to make the Internet safer 
for children and the effects on freedom of speech 
of measures to fight terrorism have been other concerns.

* The plethora of new web-based services 
currently being developed by public service 
broadcasters has also been a topic of discussion. 
Should public broadcasters be allowed to offer 
the same type of services as their private 
competitors? is a question often asked.
