What Kind Of Weave Does Meagan Good Use
The Provincial Court of Barcelona has given us two interesting statements within 24 hours on intellectual property. outside the ruling on the fee and the decision on what Padawan had to pay or not (pdf), the statement in my view more relevant considering the current situation by Sinde Act, is the Judgement 83 / 2011 on the subject "elrincondejesús.com" (pdf)
I believe this statement contains several key that can provide guidance to holders of rights to future claims to the web pages of links on your own current and obstructing much more than the law Sinde, long-term viability, at least in Spain.
is true that this sentence is not the first of a Provincial Court analyzed the question of whether the activity of a web of links constitutes an infringement of intellectual property, but it is true that in their statements contains many interesting questions for this type of web.
First it must, if it's the latest development in the sentence, the situation P2P websites with links to files on these networks.
The court ruling addressed only the issue of links to files that were in P2P networks, which apparently were the only ones there on the web. Moreover, the undisputed facts were as the sentence itself:
"In light of the arguments of both sides is considered accredited, as facts are not debatable:A) The defendant owns and runs the website www.elrincondejesus.com.B) That on this website is offered through the menu system and visual references of the works, the possibility of download music files, movies, documentaries, etc. .. through system link or links to the eDonkey P2P network called using the program eMule.C) That some of the files, which download option is offered, are musical works of the repertoire of the applicant entity. "
And all the resolution revolves around whether the existence of such links is or non-infringement of intellectual property, also testified that:
"In view of the expert reports provided by both parties may have as evidence that, in the website www. elrincondejesus.com not store any of the files whose reference is given, merely offering the possibility to download through the P2P network cited. "
That is, for the trial judge had no other issue more than links to P2P networks. I do not know why that has changed in court.
In any case there are two very important aspects of this problem anlizar one hand the action of network users and the other of the pages themselves.
Users of P2P networks:
In Case 1 st Instance states the statutory rate does not match exactly and in all cases the behavior of users of such networks, admitting that not necessarily what they perform is a public communication without consent, and therefore an infringement of intellectual property rights holders.
However, the District Court states that whoever put in the shared folder, a work not only performs an act of reproduction is not within the exception for private copying, but also carries out a public communication within the meaning of Article 20.2.i LPI
In this case, the change is substantial, pointing specifically to what users do is a violation of intellectual property. This opens the way to other considerations especially dangerous for those responsible for the websites that put links, as discussed.
The sites responsible for links to files on P2P networks:
Both the sentence in this instance and the Court maintained the thesis, and in my view correct traditional , that the webs of links, or reproduce or publicly communicate works.
This is clearly stated. And so there is no condemnation, no monetary or declarative for links to files on P2P networks.
therefore no infringement of intellectual property and these sites are unaffected by the Act Sinde.
While this statement points the way for rights holders to how to proceed in the future. Emphasising measures that the court could have adopted if the parties had applied successfully.
These measures cessation under Article 138 of the LPI , in particular the corresponding Article 139.1.h :
"The suspension of the services provided by third-party intermediaries to avail themselves of them to infringe intellectual property rights, without prejudice to the Law 34/2002 July 11, services of information society and electronic commerce . "
addition the District Court indicates to the holders of rights to ask based on the injury of others and not the web page. We teach them the way for the future while highlights those who prepared the application.
thus opens the way for rights holders to require the removal of links to P2P networks to those responsible for these sites. A road leading into the law a while, but for some strange reason had not used correctly at least publicly known.
