Questions referred

1.

Does the term ‘public’ in Articles 3(1) and 4(1) of Directive 2001/29/EC (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society have a uniform meaning?

2.

If question 1 is answered in the affirmative, is a court to be regarded as falling within the scope of the term ‘public’ within the meaning of those provisions?

3.

If question 1 is answered in the negative:

(a)

in the event of communication of a protected work to a court, can that court fall within the scope of the term ‘public’?

(b)

in the event of distribution of a protected work to a court, can that court fall within the scope of the term ‘public’?

4.

Does the fact that national legislation lays down a general principle of access to public documents in accordance with which any person who makes a request can access procedural documents submitted to a court, except where they contain confidential information, affect the assessment of whether submission to a court of a protected work amounts to a ‘communication to the public’ or a ‘distribution to the public’?

(1)  OJ 2001 L 167, p. 10.
