The controversial point is whether a sharing platform (like You Tube) qualifies as a passive host in the first place. If it does not, then it may either lose the safe harbour of the e-commerce directive or infringe the right to communicate to the public, or both. National courts have ruled inconsistently on the matter, and the CJEU has not addressed the matter yet.Guidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346709954846484926noreply@blogger.com
