Albania has approved a draft law that updates the country’s copyright legislation. The reform aims to align Albanian law with European Union rules and address the challenges of the digital economy.

The new law strengthens copyright protection online. It also increases the responsibility of digital platforms that use protected content.

In addition, the reform gives new rights to authors, performers, and newspaper publishers. It ensures fairer payment, greater transparency, and the right to challenge unfair contracts.

The law also makes it easier to use copyrighted works for education and scientific research. Libraries, archives, and museums will benefit from clearer rules.

Finally, the reform updates regulations for digital broadcasting and retransmission. It also strengthens cooperation with EU authorities. Overall, the government aims to create a fairer and more effective copyright system that supports creativity in the digital era.
