abstract
This note discusses the most important elements of the decision of the Court of
Justice of the European Union (cjeu) in the Cordoba case. The Court ruled that
the unauthorized republication of photographs constitutes an act of communica-
tion to the public and therefore a copyright infringement. This ruling clarified
the scope of the right of “communication to the public” in the framework of the
Infosoc Directive and the legality of republishing copyrighted material on the
Internet. Its most important contribution is to establish the differences between
the use of links and framing with respect to re-posting cases. This commentary
analyses whether it is still appropriate to continue using the criteria of “new public”
to identify infringements of the right of “communication to the public”.
Keywords: Copyright; Communication to the public; Hyperlinks; New Public;
Exhaustion of the right.
