CJEU: Data privacy and copyright issues: notes from the SABAM case law
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled in February 2012 that social networks and internet platforms cannot be obliged to install general filtering systems to prevent copyright-infringing file sharing between social network users. The CJEU ruled that such systems do not provide a proportionate balance between the protection of IP rights and other rights, including the right to protection of personal data. Tom De Cordier and Heidi Waem, Counsel and Associate respectively at Allen & Overy LLP, outline the data protection lessons learnt from the SABAM-Netlog case.
