Summary
Competition law can support the creative work of authors and the constant evolution of new literary and artistic works by facilitating the inclusion of a broad spectrum of existing works in digital content repositories and content aggregation services. The term ‘aggregator’ refers to a party, such as a (dedicated) search engine, which provides an overview of available resources – including literary and artistic works – together with a short indication of contents and a link to the primary source. A ‘repository’, by contrast, holds information resources, such as literary and artistic works, and makes them available from its own server. A library, for example, could be qualified as a content repository in this sense. The focus is thus on digital content services that allow new generations of authors to explore pre-existing creations and find starting points for the formulation of new aesthetic positions and the making of new literary and artistic works.1
