Paragraphs
28
and
81
of
the
judgment

A
delicate
situation
may
obtain
in
the
case
of
illegal
use
of
copyright
-
protected
music
,
films
and
computer
games
by
means
of
links
to
the
copyrighted

In
Neij
and
Sunde
Kolmisoppi
v.
Sweden
(
dec

)
,
no
.
40397/12
,
19
February
2013
,
the
Court
held
that
there
were
weighty
reasons
for
the
restriction
of
the
applicants
’
freedom
of
expression
,
because
the
applicants
’
activities
within
the
commercially
run
website
“
The
Pirate
Bay
”
amounted
to
criminal
conduct
requiring
appropriate
punishment
.
The
aforesaid
website
made
it
possible
for
users
to
come
into
contact
with
each
other
through
torrent
files
,
which
in
practice
function
as
Internet
links
.
The
Court
had
regard
to
the
domestic
courts
’
finding
that
the
applicants
had
not
taken
any
action
to
remove
the
torrent
files
in
question
,
despite
having
been
urged
to
do
so
.
This
is
not
an
undisputed
view
.
The
Supreme
Court
of
Korea
,
in
its
judgment
of
12
March
2015
,
decided
that
“
even
if
users
clicking
on
the
link
are
forwarded
to
such
web
pages
,
etc
.
,
which
may
infringe
a
copyright
holder
’s
right
to
reproduction
or
public
transmission
by
posting
copyrighted
materials
or
transmitting
copyrighted
materials
to
Internet
users
without
having
obtained
any
license
or
permission
of
the
copyright
holders
,
the
act
of
linking
can
not
by
itself
facilitate
commission
of
infringement
.
As
such
,
it
shall
not
be
deemed
as
aiding
and
abetting
an
act
of
copyright
infringement
