Question juridique clé
Whether non-payment of compensation under Art. 20(2) URG is an act of tort for venue under Art. 25 GestG.
Solution extraite
No. The claim is for a statutory compensation payment, not for damages arising from an unlawful act.
Motifs extraits
The user’s duty to pay stems from statute and compensates the copyright limitation for private use; Art. 20(2) URG is not a protective norm for tort liability. The action seeks enforcement of the compensation claim itself, not claims based on an illicit act.
