"The Court of Justice of the European Union has developed a pregnant representative constabulary on digital copyright constabulary issues, including linking together with streaming, inward the previous few years. The CJEU has confirmed validity of the “new populace theory” inward the TVCatchup (Case C-607/11) together with the Svensson rulings (Case C-466/12) amongst honour to hyperlinking together with streaming. Later, the CJEU extended the Svensson ruling’s ratio on embedding of audiovisual contents inward its BestWater lodge (Case C-348/13). These decisions follow a liberal approach inward interpreting the activities of network users. Indeed, separated from several other preliminary rulings of the CJEU, they appear to run across the needs of our modern historic menses amend than the conservative approach that declares whatsoever form of linking or streaming equally a relevant utilisation of the exclusive economical rights of the authors together with related correct holders.

A closer await at other decisions of the CJEU inward the ACI Adam (Case C-435/12), C-More Entertainment (Case C-279/13) together with PPI v. Ireland (Case C-360/13) cases mightiness reveal, however, the tensions of the CJEU’s liberal approach. Further, in that place mightiness last to a greater extent than or less unforeseen consequences stemming from the higher upwards decisions. Two novel references for preliminary rulings were submitted past times Dutch courts latterly inward  GS Media BV v Sanoma Media Netherlands BV together with Others (Case C-160/15) together with Stichting Brein (Case C-527/15)]. At worst, these mightiness Pb to the questioning of the validity of streaming services."

The presentation aims to innovate the evolution of the matrix of the CJEU’s representative law, together with raises a really hard question: which pill should the CJEU accept for the future: the carmine or the bluish one?
