Dear Michele and all,

it is right that DP in general and emulation specifically is affected by 
copyright law manifoldly. Unfortunately it is very little out there in 
regards to this.

For general understanding of the DSM directive this guideline was very 
helpful for me
https://www.notion.so/Guidelines-for-the-Implementation-of-the-DSM-Directive-45233be9c0e143338860ae5a03118bf3
whereas this could serve as a good introduction:
https://pro.europeana.eu/post/explainer-what-will-the-new-eu-copyright-rules-change-for-europe-s-cultural-heritage-institutions

Specific implications of the DSM directive for DP like emulation and 
copy protections (TPM) are touched in EFGAMPs statement, which we 
submitted to the German DSM stakeholder dialogue:
https://efgamp.eu/2020/02/14/dsm-directive-first-efgamp-statement-submitted/

Also I know from a joint statement of Dutch cultural organizations (like 
Institute for Sound & Vision) have submitted, which tackles several DP 
aspects. Maybe somebody more familiar with Dutch can find it on the 
resp. stakeholder dialogue site and send a link...

The good news is, that some more initiatives are on their way. For the 
German speaking countries nestor network is considering to provide a 
statement, too. Also some early talks with DP colleagues from the US are 
taking place, on which joint actions are considered.

Andreas
