🇩🇰 The Danish Approach to Deepfakes: Can Copyright Protect Digital Identity?

Denmark is pioneering an innovative legal strategy: using copyright law to combat non-consensual deepfakes. By recognizing individuals' rights over their own image as a form of intellectual property, this approach offers faster remedies than traditional privacy litigation.

Key points:
- Denmark's copyright-based deepfake strategy
- Comparison with EU regulatory approaches
- Legal analysis and potential implications
- Strengths and limitations of this framework

🇩🇰 L'approccio danese ai deepfake: il copyright può tutelare l'identità digitale?

La Danimarca sta sperimentando una strategia legale innovativa: utilizzare il diritto d'autore per contrastare i deepfake non consensuali. Riconoscendo il diritto degli individui sulla propria immagine come forma di proprietà intellettuale, questo approccio offre rimedi più rapidi rispetto al contenzioso tradizionale sulla privacy.

Punti chiave:
- La strategia danese basata sul copyright
- Confronto con gli approcci regolatori UE
- Analisi legale e potenziali implicazioni
- Punti di forza e limiti del framework
