Serious concerns about legal and illegal distribution of digitized literary translations have led us to hold this survey. The main goal was to make a sort of ‘snapshot’ of literary translators’ copyright situation in the new and rapidly changing market of digital rights in Europe.

We wanted to find out:

• which digital publication forms are already being used
• if literary translators usually cede their digital rights or not
• what kind of remuneration literary translators get for the use of their work for digital publications
• what is the status of digital rights

Not surprisingly, the results show huge differences between European countries, not only with regard to the nature and volume of digital/electronic
publishing, but also in terms of remuneration. Due to the rapid developments, reality may already have changed since Spring 2010 towards even more digital publishing.
