Prawa trolli autorskich w dyrektywie 2004/48/WE – równowaga między prawem do prywatności a prawem autorskim

Summary/Abstract: The gloss refers to the judgment of the CJEU of 17 June 2021 in case C-597/19, Mircom International Content Management & Consulting Limited v. Telenet BVBA. This judgment is another important element in balancing the rights to protect intellectual property and the right toprivacy, as well as determining the rights of copyright trolls. The Court set out the conditions for sharing customer data with peer-to-peer networks. According to the author, the green light on sharing personal data of Internet users with copyright trolls will undoubtedly intensify the activities of the latter. Protecting the rights of copyright trolls is contrary to the purpose and axiology of copyright.
