This deliverable describes the activities carried out during the last year of the inDICEs project within Work Package 2. It presents a framework for assessing the impact of legal and policy instruments in the cultural heritage sector, and applies this evaluative framework to the relevant provisions of the new European Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. Deliverable D2.4. departs from the results obtained in Project inDICEs, and presents a thorough theoretical evaluation of the new Directive, relying on authoritative literary sources, complemented by input from advocacy groups and other legal research projects focused on the cultural heritage sector (such as Project ReCreating Europe).
