The dispute

A pupil used a photograph of Córdoba in a school project that was posted on the school website. The image had previously been published on another website with the photographer’s permission.

The decision

The Court of Justice held that uploading the photograph to a separate website was an act of communication to the public within the scope of EU copyright rules.
