If the webiste terms state that users may not make commercial use of the content located on the site, one may infer that the rights holder did not take into account commercial end-users when they authorized the initial communcation. <br /><br />Since, however, this use is something that would come after the initial communication, the initial communication is not strictly restricted. This is how I understand your argument. If linking to commercial end-users in this scenario was considered to be communication to a new public, the "new public"-criterion would be given a strongly subjective character. <br /><br />But what if the website terms state, for example, that "only students at the University may access the articles" (in the technical sense, the articles are freely available). Would not this restriction relate to the initial communication?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-81159387124712230642015-07-29T22:42:43.359+01:002015-07-29T22:42:43.359+01:00Mockery from a respected IT website here:

Not even for laws we have agreed to by treaty. For us, it is quite necessary to take an additional step and create a US law that inculcates the terms (which may change in translation) of the agreed-to treaty.THE US anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-34011501090328449572015-07-29T10:53:05.913+01:002015-07-29T10:53:05.913+01:00Do you think both Svensson and BestWater decisions...Do you think both Svensson and BestWater decisions make Youtube’s restrictions* to use the Youtube content without Youtube player irrelevant? Can one download or capture Youtube videos and then upload (not embed) it to its own website? My first guess is yes – no new public. But is it “different technical means”.<br /><br />*- (a) „you agree not to distribute any part of or parts of the Website or the Service, including but not limited to any Content, in any medium without YouTube's prior written authorisation, unless YouTube makes available the means for such distribution through functionality offered by the Service (such as the YouTube Player);“ (b) “you agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Website itself, the YouTube Player, or such other means as YouTube may explicitly designate for this purpose”Andriusnoreply@blogger.com
