Abstract
On 21 October 2010 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) gave its decision in Padawan v SGAE, an interesting case regarding the so-called “private copying levy”. The ECJ held that such a levy is in conformity with Directive 2001/79 (on the harmonization of certain aspects of copyright in the information society) when charged on copying devices sold to individuals, as it can reasonably be assumed that those equipments will be used for copying. Yet the levy should not be charged when said devices are sold to companies and professionals.
