- Description
- This ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union finds that publishing links to or embedding publically accessible content does not constitute a breach of copyright. The case was referred to the Court by the Swedish Court of Appeal, following a case brought by journalists working for the paper Göteborgs-Posten, against a content aggregation service, Retriever Sverige. The claimants based their case on the fact that Retriever Sverige had made use of their work without their permission by making it available to its clients. Retriever Sverige contended that provision of lists of Internet links to works communicated to the public on other websites does not constitute an act liable to affect the copyright in those works.
