The end of copyright as we know it, avoided

The question of under what circumstances a work is made available to the public is one of the most disputed subjects in EU copyright law. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled on a number of cases over the last years including GS Media (C-160/15), Svensson and Others (C-466/12) and Stichting Brein (C-610/15).
