First released in early 2019 and now in its third edition, Copyright and the Court of Justice of the European Union has become a leading resource for unpacking the extensive and complex case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the copyright field. This new edition, up to date with the most recent and relevant case law and key judgments since 2023, considers the increasingly prominent and substantive role of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in copyright case law. The book also addresses a wide range of doctrinal and practical issues, including copyright subsistence and the test for infringement; the direct effect of EU copyright legislation; and the evolving approach to exceptions and limitations, most notably, the move away from their strict interpretation towards ensuring their effectiveness, in line with the Charter. It further examines the scope of Member States'' discretion in implementing international norms.Thoroughly revised, this edition offers new insights into the CJEU''s evolving approach and its implications for the present and future of EU copyright.
