The Polish Government continues to believe that the Copyright Directive in the Digital Single Market cannot be adopted in its current form. The provisions concerning the protection of press publications on digital usage and the use of content protected by information society service providers to store and provide public access to a large number of works and other subject-matter provided by users raise doubts.

The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage issued a statement stating that the Polish government rejects the proposals of the European Parliament recorded Under section 11 and 13 the proposed Copyright Directive. Named Acta[2] that Directive Under section 11 introduces restrictions on the right to reproduce the work, while Under section 13 opens the door to censoring internet space by "using effective content recognition technologies", de facto filtering content, for which its suppliers would also be legally responsible.
