Case Note on “Loudspeakers in Bars” and “Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores” - Decisions of the Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal de Justiça) – 13 November 2013 – Case No. 15/2013 and of the European Court of Justice (Third Chamber) – 14 July 2015 – Case No. C-151/15

Filgueiras, SofiaCase Note on “Loudspeakers in Bars” and “Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores” - Decisions of the Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal de Justiça) – 13 November 2013 – Case No. 15/2013 and of the European Court of Justice (Third Chamber) – 14 July 2015 – Case No. C-151/15 IIC 47, 1 (2016), 125 - 131.

This case note takes a look at the dilemma with which the Second Instance Court of Coimbra, Portugal, is confronted as the CJEU preliminary ruling it requested on the concept of “communication to the public” in the case Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores offers, for similar facts, a fully different interpretation than an authoritative decision of the Supreme Court of Portugal. Delving, in particular, into the argumentation of the Supreme Court, this comment seeks to present a conciliatory solution for the still pending proceedings at the Court of Coimbra.
