It’s the same compensation as previously are exemeplvis CDs and TV set-top boxes that can record on.
It is TeliaSonera, which has pushed the issue up in the highest court of the Copyright Organisation Copyswede, but HD then go on Copyswede line and sets earlier judgments in the lower courts, see the link to the judgment at the bottom.
to this comment on the judgment of Copyswede CEO Mattias Åkerlind:
– this is an important win for Sweden’s cultural creators, to HD so clearly says that even an Iphone be covered by the private copying compensation, says Mattias Åkerlind.
you had sued TeliaSonera at 73 million in compensation – how it?
– HD has not taken a position on the question of compensation, but they have only taken a position on whether the products can be privately copied and notes that this is such a product to be covered by the compensation scheme . Then it becomes a matter for future negotiations.
Who is going to pay this time in the end?
– The liability is on companies which import these products, and this the goal is Telia, which is the counterpart.
to what extent is this judgment guidance? You’ve other targets at once too …
– We have run a number of objectives for the culture creators bill is that we believe that multifunctional products to be covered by this compensation scheme.
and it could be?
– it could be computers, tablets, and other types of mobile phones, that is, all the products that can be used to store movies and music and audio books for example. We believe that HD has the judgment this line as creators of culture operates, ie all products that can be used for private copying should also be covered by the compensation scheme and this makes the Supreme Court clear statements that may then be interpreted as also similar products to be covered by the compensation scheme, and this makes the Supreme Court clear statements that may then be interpreted as also similar products to be covered by the compensation scheme, says Åkerlind.
Copyswede already operates a similar case against Sony Mobile and Samsung. Kulturnytt looking TeliaSonera for comment.
