Iris - Legal Observations of the 
European Audiovisual Observatory
no. 8, 2005

  As usual, this journal provides news on legal developments in Europe in the fields of broadcasting and new media.

This edition includes a brief presentation of the Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation (2005) 1706 on the treatment of terrorism in European media. Worth attention are furthermore the two news items reporting on the European Commission's plans to modernise the legislative framework of the media industry, as well as its working paper on cross-border collective management of copyright. 

The supplement to this issue, Iris plus, deals with Digital Rights Management from the consumer’s perspective; the paper suggests that the Council of Europe is more suitable than the European Commission to tackle consumer protection in intellectual property law.
