Wish to discuss GS Media and linking?
If you are in London in the evening of Tuesday, 28 March, then you may want to attend the new event organised by TIPLO (The Intellectual Property Lawyers Organisation), to which I have also been kindly invited to speak.
Entitled 'Linking after GS Media: clear (and happy) at last?', this meeting consists of a convivial dinner in the beautiful premises of Middle Temple (The Princes' Room to be more precise), followed by a discussion of the issues addressed (and raised) by everybody's favourite court, ie the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), in its seminal decision in GS Media, C-160/15.
In that case the CJEU tackled the issue of linking to unlicensed copyright content, and determined what the relevant legal treatment should be.
Yet, the ruling raises several questions:
- How did the CJEU reach that decision?
- Where are we after GS Media: is the relevant legal framework on linking any clearer now?
- Profit-making intention: what is it all about?
- Who is likely to be most at risk in the post-GS Media world?
