Denmark intervenes in EU court case over publishers’ rights

The Danish government has filed a written intervention in ​the European Court of Justice’s ​case pitting tech companies against Belgium’s government, citing ​the potential impact of the case on the rights of Danish media houses, the Culture Ministry said on Monday.

Streamz, Google, Meta, Spotify, and Sony filed ‌a lawsuit against ⁠the ⁠Belgian government in 2023. They did so primarily because they believe that Belgium’s implementation of Article 15 of the Digital Single Market (DSM) Directive undermines EU law concerning press publishers’ rights.
