Abstract
This opinion argues that copyright law must benefit creation. Rights reversion to primary creators, in particular if works are not sufficiently used, is an under-appreciated tool to achieve this aim. Rights will be held where works can be put to their most productive use. Warehousing of copyright assets is discouraged. This opinion introduces an Open Letter signed by a group of leading academics in the context of the implementation of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market . The letter to the European Commission and the relevant authorities of EU Member States advocates taking the "right of revocation" under Article 22 seriously as a "use-it-or-lose-it" provision.
