Cloud-based services Interests involved Legal issues –Exceptions –Safe harbours –Injunctions General guideline Contents

Cloud-Based Services

For the general public

For individual subscribers

For groups

Interests involved

copyright owners platform providers internet users Stakeholders copyright owners: appropriate reward? platform providers: sufficient legal certainty? internet users: mere convenience? innovation policies

Exceptions

liberal application (Germany) concerns about abuse (Mexico, Spain) Private copying time shifting, potentially porting (UK, US)

might exempt personal access services, e.g. online video recorders requires initiative for copying to be taken by the private user national regimes may cover copying on behalf of private users challenge of establishing adequate remuneration scheme Private copying

storage of an individual copy for each private users master copy as a basis for executing individual requests Mere copying or making available?

over-the-air television and radio signals transferred to cloud video recorders of private users Re-transmission?

facilitation of cloud use for private users exemption required for educational institutions? Further exceptions exemption required for cultural heritage institutions? (extended collective licensing in Norway and Sweden)

Safe harbours

might be available for hosting of third- party content (passive role) provision of technical means ≠ making available/communication to the public no general monitoring obligation Starting points

Example: EU safe harbour

Google = host eligible for safe harbour? ‘…it is necessary to examine whether the role played by that service provider is neutral, in the sense that its conduct is merely technical, automatic and passive, pointing to a lack of knowledge or control of the data which it stores.’ (para. 114) financial interest which Google has in its advertising service is not decisive (para. 116) CJEU, 23 March 2010, case C-236/08, Google/Louis Vuitton

new standard of ‘diligent economic operator’ ‘...it is sufficient, in order for the provider of an information society service to be denied entitlement to the exemption [for hosting], for it to have been aware of facts or circumstances on the basis of which a diligent economic operator should have identified the illegality in question...’ (para. 120) still no general monitoring obligation but own investigations relevant CJEU, 12 July 2011, case C-324/09, L’Oréal/eBay

imprecise or inadequately substantiated notifications may also become relevant ‘...the fact remains that such notification represents, as a general rule, a factor of which the national court must take account when determining [...] whether the [service provider] was actually aware of facts or circumstances on the basis of which a diligent economic operator should have identified the illegality.’ (para. 122) CJEU, 12 July 2011, case C-324/09, L’Oréal/eBay

from general exemption from investigations to obligation to seriously consider even imprecise notifications Current development in the EU

Notice and takedown

notice takedown ? Which procedural steps?

notice-and-notice in Canada’s new Copyright Modernization Act (Bill C-11) –need for communication instead of removal? –safeguard against unjustified removal required? –system of counter-notices insufficient? notice-and-action initiative in the EU –quicker takedown for rights owners –increased legal certainty for ISPs –more safeguards for fundamental rights Departure from takedown?

Injunctions

injunctions against online platforms ‘...to order an online service provider, such as a provider making an online marketplace available to internet users, to take measures that contribute not only to bringing to an end infringements committed through that marketplace, but also to preventing further infringements...’ (para. 131) basis: Art. 11 EU Enforcement Directive, Art. 14(3) EU E-Commerce Directive CJEU, 12 July 2011, case C-324/09, L’Oréal/eBay

no general and permanent prohibition on the use of specific material but measures against repeat infringers ‘...if the operator of the online marketplace does not decide, on its own initiative, to suspend the [infringer] to prevent further infringements of that kind by the same seller in respect of the same trade marks, it may be ordered, by means of an injunction, to do so.’ (para. 141) CJEU, 12 July 2011, case C-324/09, L’Oréal/eBay

Filtering

free speech/ privacy protection freedom of conducting a business copyright protection Delicate balancing of legal positions copyright owner: erosion of copyright? platform provider: too heavy a burden? internet users: sufficient safeguards?

more efficient than procedures against individual users? industry roundtables deciding on online contents? Specific filters permissible? Blocking of websites preferable? e.g. text filters (Germany, Netherlands) acceptable burden for ISPs? encroachment upon freedom of speech?

General guideline

Preamble of the Berne Convention ‘The countries of the Union, being equally animated by the desire to protect, in as effective and uniform a manner as possible, the rights of authors in their literary and artistic works,…’

not only legal legitimacy but also social legitimacy Need to fortify the foundations
