ONLAJN TELEVIZIJSKE USLUGE I AUTORSKO PRAVO

Abstract

The right to public communication of author's works is an issue on which the Court of Justice of the EU has had the opportunity to decide a number of times. The same applies to the private copying exception. The Court of Justice of the EU recently had the opportunity to decide on both of these issues in the "Ocilion" case - case C- 426/21. In the "Ocilion" case, the EU Court of Justice actually decided on two complicated aspects of the relationship between copyright law and online television services, clarifying that deduplication systems for copying TV shows do not fall within the scope of the private copying exception and that enabling online rebroadcasting does not constitute communication to the public. In the paper, the author deals with certain aspects of online television services on which the Court of Justice had the opportunity to decide in the "Ocilion" case. In addition, the author analyzes Directive 2019/789 on the cross-border online distribution of television and radio programs in the paper.
