Like a recently-passed law in Germany, the Austrian bill would create a limited exception for clips running fewer than 15 seconds in length. Austria is a fairly small market, with a music business less than a tenth the size of Germany’s. But the passage of this law would mean that Germany is no longer a single outlier, and it could potentially inspire other countries to take a similar approach – especially those in Eastern Europe, where copyright law has a relatively short history.
