KOUBARELI AND TIGEST NOW IN ENGLISH

The July 2003 issue of the European Copyright and Design Reports has belatedly emerged from Sweet & Maxwell. It contains, among other things, English translations of two good cases. The first is Koubareli v Volotas and Forthnet, an Athens Court of First Instance decision on the cyber-harassment of a young Greek authoress by an admirer whose activities were held to infringe not only her economic and her moral copyright but also her right of personality. The second, from the Cour d’appel de Paris, is Société Reed Expositions France v Société Tigest, in which the court ruled that contractual restrictions on what the purchaser of commercial data ― in this case a database of contact and other details of exhibitors at the claimant’s exhibitions ― could do with the data did not constitute a violation of the defendant’s freedom of speech.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
