The CJEU reminded the Portuguese court that the “public” in the sense of art. 3(1) InfoSoc Directive was an indeterminate number of potential recipients (with reference to ITV Broadcasting e.a., C‑607/11, EU:C:2013:147, para 32). The customers of a bar, café or restaurant were a “public” in this sense.
Further, the “public” needed to be a “new public”, i.e., a public that was not considered by the right owner when authorizing the original communication to the public –- here the broadcast on radio (with reference to Football Association Premier League e.a., C‑403/08 et C‑429/08, EU:C:2011:631, para 197, Katpost). Here, the right owners took into account that individual persons and their families would listen to the radio broadcast, but not that the radio was played in the public sphere such as a bar.
Since the CJEU already held –- in Football Association Premier League –- that transmission in a pub of broadcasts containing protected works constitutes a ‘communication to the public’ within the meaning of the InfoSoc Directive, for which the authorisation of the author of the works is necessary, this result is hardly surprising. The CJEU did not think the question was particularly difficult to answer, either, given that it received the referral on 30 March 2015 and handed down the order on 14 July 2015, a mere 3.5 months later.
I do believe it is case number C-151/15 instead of C-151/05. Apparently the case was simply too boring to notice even the number.
you are right, I've amended the title.
... Then I realised i had mis-read it, and that contrary to what I had thought, the bar owners were indeed obliged to pay up. It still seems wrong though - if the radio broadcasters have paid to transmit the songs, why do other people have to pay to receive them?
