Fine Tuning the Internet: Hyperlinking and Copyright Infringement Warner Music & Sony Music Entertainment V Tunein [2019] EWHC 2923 (Ch) Fine tuning the internet: Hyperlinking and copyright infringement Warner Music & Sony Music Entertainment v TuneIn [2019] EWHC 2923 (Ch) Ruling on a test case in the High Court on 1st The claimants alleged that TuneIn had infringed November 2019, Mr Justice Birss held that their exclusive right as license-holders to TuneIn, a service which gives users access to over communicate copyright works to the public under 100,000 radio streams around the world via a section 20 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents website and an app, infringes license holders’ Act 1988 (CDPA). TuneIn claimed that because it rights by providing hyperlinks to overseas radio does not store or transmit any music, and merely stations, making copyrighted works available to a hyperlinks to radio streams freely available new section of the public by targeting UK users. elsewhere, this could not be the case. TuneIn argued that the practice of hyperlinking was so This is the latest UK case to deal with the difficult fundamental to freedom of access to the internet copyright implications of hyperlinking and offers that a finding for Warner and Sony would “break some practical insight into where the UK courts the internet”. consider the boundary lies between infringement and free expression. The High Court’s decision The background The Judge divided the stations which TuneIn provides access to into four categories: Warner and Sony own or hold exclusive licenses to copyright in sound recordings which account • Category 1 –stations licensed in the UK and for more than half the market for digital sales of freely available to UK users online; recorded music in the UK and over 40% • Category 2 – stations which are not licensed in worldwide. TuneIn is a US company which the UK or elsewhere; operates an online platform called “TuneIn • Category 3 – stations licensed in a territory Radio”, available to users via a website or an app. other than the UK and targeted at overseas TuneIn Radio connects users to works that are users; and already available on the internet, without • Category 4 – premium stations created geographic or other restrictions, via hyperlinks. exclusively for TuneIn. The user is not taken to the radio station's website, but rather streams content via TuneIn’s Having considered each category in turn, the interface and sees advertisements provided by Court decided that in all but the first category, TuneIn while streaming. It also operated (but has TuneIn was infringing the claimant’s right to now discontinued in the UK) a recording service communicate the works to the public because, by on its app that allowed premium users to listen to targeting the UK, TuneIn was making the works content later. available to a “new public”. TuneIn was also found liable for infringement by An act of communication? authorisation and joint tortfeasance when it provided the means for users to record radio The Judge addressed the CJEU and UK Case Law streams to listen to at any time. where works had already been the subject of another communication. Where the work was Legal principles initially made available with the consent of the copyright-holder, then in order for there to be Targeting infringement there needed to be a further act of As websites without geographic restriction could communication which either engaged a “new potentially be accessed by users all over the public” or entailed a new mode of transmission. A world, UK copyright law would only be engaged if “new public” would be engaged when the TuneIn targeted UK users. “Targeting” is used to subsequent act of communication was made to allocate responsibility for activity on the internet an audience that exceeded the audience initially under EU law.

The posting of a hyperlink Section 20 of the CDPA states that to the infringing work will be treated as a fresh act communication to the public of a work, either by of communication and amount to an infringement broadcasting it or making it available to the public if the person posting it knows, or ought to know, at a place and time as chosen by them via that the original posting was made without electronic transmission, is restricted by copyright. consent. Where the person sharing the link is “Communication to the public” is interpreted acting for financial gain, the Court will presume broadly. It covers any transmission or that they knew that the initial communication was retransmission of a copyrighted work to the without consent. For persons acting otherwise public not present at the place where the than for financial gain, the presumption is communication originates or where the technical reversed and the person posting the link is means of transmission are different. Thus there presumed not to have the requisite knowledge are three elements necessary to determine unless the contrary is proved. In any event, once whether infringement under s. 20 has taken the person posting the link is in fact aware that place: the work was posted without the consent of the rights holder, they will commit an act of • whether there has been a communication; communication if they do not take the link down. • who constitutes the relevant public; and • what the means of transmission are. TuneIn claimed that it merely performed the role A new mode of transmission? of a conventional search engine, a facilitator which provided access to streams of content The Court did not consider that TuneIn used a available elsewhere. The Judge disagreed – he new mode of transmission, as both the original saw TuneIn as intervening directly to provide the radio stream and the TuneIn Radio website made streams to users in the UK. Linking to a the works available via “the internet”, which had copyrighted work that was previously available been found to amount to a single technical online and so theoretically accessible by UK users, means by the CJEU in Svensson v Retriever Sverige but that might not be found by them otherwise, AB Case C – 466/12. would “make it available” to the public.
