Court of Justice 10 March 2011, C-462/09 (Stichting de Thuiskopie v Opus Supplies Deutschland GmbH and Others.)

Opinion of the Advocate-General Opinion of the Advocate-General 1. This case concerns the analysis of ‘fair compensation’ used in Article 5(2)(b) of Directive 2001/29/EC. (2) Whilst the definition of who is liable to pay such compensation has recently been dealt with in Padawan , (3) the present preliminary reference differs from that case since it contains a cross-border element.
