Question juridique clé
Whether the defendant owes tariff-based copyright remuneration for 2012-2016
Solution extraite
Yes. The plaintiff was entitled to charge the defendant, as a business user, for paper copying and internal network use; the estimated usage was deemed accepted because the defendant did not contest it in time.
Motifs extraits
The plaintiff was an authorized collecting society and the defendant fell within the tariff categories. Under the relevant tariff clauses, failure to return forms and to challenge the estimate within 30 days meant the estimate stood as accepted.
